Didn't figure there was much if any applicability in those ramblings.

Are you doing the rod under the arm double handed strip method or single handed stripping? The only time I've ever fished in that style was in Belize a few winter back where the guide told me to strip as fast as I could. Even at my fastest he was still yelling at me to strip faster. It was a new game to me for sure.
