Ditto. You want the fish to take line when it runs so it tires itself out hauling against the resistance. Line stretch (for mono) acts a bit like a shock absorber but it's a balancing act, tighten up the drag too much and snap...
I'm jealous - couldn't get any fishing in this weekend. My repair skills (or lack of ) are famous; I even made the funny papers yesterday: http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20130706/NEWS01/307070004/jobs-New-York

Sounds like they should invest in a good flashlight...
You're Doug!
Lol - Matt (Carpedium) and I fished with Captain Scott (Silver Fox) last weekend and I was answering to "Doug" for the first hour.
Nice to meet you!
