I understand the Bad hand thing man. You need to add a strap to your rod to your arm.

I watched a very, very famous fisherman get a rod ripped right out of his hands once. *Shoop* - and it was gone. Didn't say a word, just got another rod out of the rod locker. It happens.  Pretty good reflexes to get it back though.

Hear ya on the bad thumb. I have a heck of a time palming big reels these days. Used to be able to palm a Garcia 7000 muskie fishing. Not anymore...

That was a good recovery though...

That was awesome! Good catch. My dad told me a story once that when we lived down in Florida he was out fishing and there was a buddy of his next to him and they were talking on all the sudden that guy goes to set the hook and the rod gets ripped completely out of his hands on the hooks set. The guy turns and looks at my dad and said that one scared me! Haha.
