Applause for trying to be resourceful, but you wasting your energy here. Logistics wont even work man. You will need to be more resourceful on the quick.
If i were you, i would go down to the docks in gulfport with the most expensive thing i own and offer as collateral for borrowing a big game setup thats ready to roll.
Thats solid advice. Explain your situation to those salty guys. One of them will remember being in a similar situation and take you up on it. If you break their gear, they get to pawn your $500 item. Everybody will be happy.
If that dont work, i bet your buddies will let you reel your first big shark. Or your 2nd sounds like? Good luck!
