BS is a stand up guy...I hope you gave him some fresh flatty meat MJ. Look at it this way - you are just getting the bugs out. Should be smooth sailing from here on.
Also if you haven't sent a nice rod/reel to Davey Jones Locker, then you aren't a true fisherman. I've sent at least 3. Actually 4 if you count the one we lost last trip out....it wasn't mine.
Its just like fouls in basketball IMO. Chit happens.
Hey one time a dam dredging operation wedged me up against a dock as I was passing through a channel. I broke one rod in half on the dock and the rear bimini strap got hung and snapped in half as well. That was one heck of a close encounter! The dude had the diesel engine on that thing maxxed out and he was still pushing in on me! Cleaned my drawers and went fishing anyway.
