Shimano will honor your warranty.

I had a lifetime warranty rod bust due to my own fault landing a fish. They replaced it no questions asked.

Nice sleigh ride video. Too bad no video of the rod exploding.

Thanks. I know I didn't even know the rear Go Pro had stopped. The front one I had turned off so I could switch the orientation to upside down in order to get the under water shots. It seemed like I could not get him up any closer than 12-15' below for over 15 minutes and was pulling as hard as I dared since this rod was a medium and I had intended it to be my lighter gear for fish under 25 lbs. I was not putting the drag on the Avet MXJ any tighter than about 2/3 to 3/4 so as not to overload the rod. In the end I don't know what he did, use its tail or twisted it against the kayak because he was kind of under my kayak and the leader was just about at the rods tip. I contacted Shimano today and will ship them the rod with the form and a copy of the receipt from Turner's. Thanks Mark.

To keep your arm from getting tired rest the grip of rod on your knee and "rail rod" the fish. Tip of rod will probably be in water but that does not matter.
You can put more pressure on the fish this way and land them faster.

Definately, I was doing that later in the fight. I think it's on some of the video. Thanks for the tip. Too bad I couldn't get the shots of the tail up against the kayak with half of it out of the water. Those tails are quite impressive.

Woah Mark, your new kayak has probably got more action in the few shorts months you own it than others do in years!

Thank Mike, U Tube just makes it harder to put your own music with all the copyrights. I noticed all the videos I had previously posted, now all show music is copyrighted. They still play, but apparently they have changed the rules now and all new postings even with the disclaimer get muted. That sucks!

find a song thats a "remix" Or use a song that is "instrumental version" of a song you want. Also you can search on youtube for non copyrighted music

Thanks Mike. when I got the notification of the muting due to copy rights I tried using their list of free music and was good, except it would not let me put more than 1 song and the video was way longer. So I downloaded 3 songs from their list and had to edit my video on the I Movie and then re-submit it to U Tube and delete the original version which already had 67 views. It just makes it a pain, but next time I know what it takes now that they changed things up.
