Thanks for the report Doug. Sorry about your pole, but sounds like you still had some fun and found some fish.

Lost a pole a few weeks back myself. 12 foot BnM.................. got caught up in landing a monster catfish.............musta had that thing torked hard while looking down on moby cat............next thing I knew ...................SnnnnnnnnnAAAAAPPPPPPP. Folks fishing in the area said it sounded like a 22 going off....lol.........took 30 mins before I felt my right hand again. Stupid is as stupid does................................... but I just wanted to see that cat
