I have a short one. A friend of mine landed a big king on light line. 25lb fish, 10 main, on a 6'6" trout rod! After finally landing the fish he was shaking so bad his brother had to light his smoke for him. He still insists on using that little pole. But he only really fishes for silvers. Had to be there for best effect.

Just because I look big, dumb, and ugly, doesn't mean I am. It means I can stomp you for calling me it!
