1) talk to Ray..he has many friends at Lami and can probably get your warrantee honored immediately...

he knows how to talk to them...
2) a pic of the fish with the snapped Lami would be sweet...got any?
3) sorry little brother, I guess the price for getting into fish can sometimes be high...the lightning was cool though wasn't it?

maybe you were struck by lightning?
4) that's pretty damn impressive... getting the fish to the rocks after breaking the rod

I don't think i could do that...
Greg...was that a one or two piece?..originally...not being a wise guy, just curious, Ray's was a 2 pc..he forgot to wax his ferrule or something..
btw...the recent All-Star nite was the one year anniversary of me driving over my rod with the Mystery Machine... still hurts, but I love the new one
