Uh oh, looks like I need to clarify a few things.

First off, I did not buy that Lamiglass. It was given to me. Shame on you for "assuming" I had purchased a Lamiglass!

I was not wearing my shades, rather I had them resting on the bill of my cap. D'oh! Luckily, the rod just whacked me on the top of my head, and not just straight though my eye! Ouch.

I never had the line more then half way in the clip. The bigger bucks would pull the line off the clip, but the whimpy hens couldn't. This fish was a whimpy hen. I *might* be guilty of the Monster Hookset Action, though. My bad, and I paid the price for that stupid mistake.

I'll give Lamiglass a call tomorrow and see what they say. Hopefully, they'll say more then "Idiot!" and not hang up on me while cackling out loud!
