Ran all the fly line, 100+ yards of backing and I can't stop her so I am palming to spool on the fly reel. Yup, she popped a 20# tippet like it was thread.
I texted Dennis and he and Bob joined me. It's almost Midnight, pea soup fog and no wind. We are getting nothing and there is a splash that sounded like someone threw a cinder block into the water. We never hooked up again that night.

I did hook up... but it was with an overhead electrical line between poles  Also broke me off. |
