Catfish breaks my pole

[Santaaa]

My new Johnson Century combo got cracked by a catfish. I was fighting it and it snapped my line and when I rigged and cast it back out my pole made a noise and I wondered what it was so I looked and there was this nice crack on the part closer to the reel. I just got my fishing pole 2 weeks ago and if the warrenty will not cover it which it should I will be up krud creek. So now I am probably going to miss the first day of bass season. *sigh* If I can just get my money back from the store I am going to go ahead and spend the extra money on a better fishing pole. *sigh*
