I know what your saying about the funny Justin but I'll tell yah it happened to my older sister a couple years back. She came out and fished with us out of Sooke for a coupe days. We got on a nice nook and I handed the rod over to her to take over, she was not familiar with these reels and was holding it tight, that big old fish did a run next to the boat and whap, whap she took a few good ones to the hand. Let me tell you a full grown women couldn't take it, she broke out in tears and for good reason, it damn near broke her fingers. She had to give the rod away, she ended up not being able to use her hand for a couple days,, it was nasty. Yah it's funny when it happens to one of the boys but it was not nice that day, I felt darn bad for my sis..
