Bummer, man I hate it when that happens. I had a similar fish on a few years back and I had 30# spiderwire on an Abu 6500C and that fish took line at will. I had the drag pretty tight, but the line payed out when the fish ran. Actually I wouldn't even call it a run, fast, but not screeming. It just took my jerkbait and swam towards England. Never turned her and had actually started off in persuit with the trolling motor, because she had me close to my mono backing. Then like your fish, she just came unbuttoned.
I would have liked to have gotten a look at her, but then if I new it was the large of a lifetime and she came unglued I would have really been depressed. Spent the rest of the season building that one up in my mind, must have been close to 65 I'd say, lol.
Tight lines.
