I was muscling a large shark on the fly rod when he made a final surge, I was too caught up in the moment to have thought to ease up the drag.

Can't really tell you what happened to the reel except that there was an explosion and the next thing I see is a very expensive fly reel sinking in deep water with several large sharks swimming around.

All that was left was the reel seat.
