Mike –
Sorry to do this to you buddy but maybe it will help.
See where your hand is? It is well forward of your shoulder, but held *high*. This is creep at work; your hand is pushing forward rather than rotating down. This pushes the butt of the rod in front of the tip so that the turnover doesn’t occur until too late in the cast to convey enough power to stack the lines over each other without the top falling down and tailing.
Creep and punch cause tailing loops. Start with shorter lengths of line and work up until you have the creeping problem setting in, then repair it there rather than trying to fix it at 100′. If you creep at 65′, start at 65′ and work up.

Mike –
If you were trying to hit 100 yards with a 90 foot line you might have been attempting the impossible.
You know Mike, I certainly respect your opinion on that but I wonder the extent to which you are applying your usual conventional-gear thinking to the need for the bigger boat for stripers.
One other thing:
The graphic I drew is not perfectly symmetrical. If it appears slightly off-center it may be that the tip top of the graphic is a little off the axis, so please be sure to measure your shirt if you think they printed it wrong.
I just measured the one XL I have left and it is 21″ across the shirt, and 10.5″ to the middle of the design, but the top of the design is a quarter inch off to the left.
This is my fault a bit, guys, I simply hadn’t blown the graphic up as big as the shirt and didn’t realize I wasn’t right on the vertical line. However, if you feel the shirt was misprinted, please let me know.

The Box –
You can’t unwillingly be made to give bodily fluid for a test (though there are harsh penalties if you don’t), so if there has been a DNA test, you can bet the DNA sample was taken one of two ways 1) with permission or 2) from fluids left outside the body.
For a puncture, repair waders by turning them inside out and spraying them over with rubbing alcohol in a mister bottle.
I do wear ball caps – my hatband is only about a 7 1/4″ and since my head is shaved it looks even smaller.
