    Used the opposite hand for learning the strip strike, held your hand over the rod to prevent raising the rod, pushed him in the water!?!  Got me on this one.  Jerry

    Hi, Group.....
     
    We were hosting an excellent trout fisherman who learned a good strip strike with which to hook tarpon.  Problem was that every time a fish took his fly, he reverted in line with his instincts and raised the rod sharply as though hooking a trout.......He lost every one.
     
    Then I figured out a way of breaking this habit, which worked fine.
     
    What do you suppose I did ?
