Rocky,

The sticks will be able to handle the fish at Catalina.  Just
don't try to bounce the fish on the boat or else you will have
to put the warranty to good use :)  If you need other gear,
just let me know.  I have lots of other loaners you and your
friends can use.  

Your Shimano 400te is a great reel.  Plenty of drag for the
big YT's.  I'll send you an email for tackle and rigging.
