Ummm.......quality rods don't break, especially at the grip area! In fact MANY graphite rods come with a warranty that states that if you break it they will replace it!
What do batteries have to do with it? That was an April fools joke, and you fell for it!

That was a cheap rod! Cheap rods break right where his broke. I guess you haven't seen people fish for huge tuna using the rail just like he did using a QUALITY rod and it doesn't break!

Possibly, but based on what?
A fairly accurate way to tell is to take the girth measurement, square it, and multiply that times the length (all in inches) and divide the sum by 800.
(Girth x Girth) X Length = the weight of the fish in pounds
800
How to weigh a fish with only measurements

Guess you don't know who I am. I have been a fishing guide in Alaska for about 15 years and have more experiance landing fish over 200lbs than most people in the world. I know about rail fishing for tuna as well and that is not even close to what he was doing. When you rail fish you place the rod flat on the gunnel or top rail. Many rods are actually made for rail fishing with extended butt sections. He placed his rod above the put section at an angle. With that fish pulling the way it was and his drag a smidge to tight that rod was under extreme stress. Placing it like he did on the gunnel at that angle was idiotic. But what do I know.
