That happened to me 2 weeks ago,

Fishaholic18 and I were fishing a river from shore at night. I was throwing a bomber when I hooked up, I was fighting this fish but it felt very strange. Then I heard the familiar sound of the bomber rattling, but no splashing, I thought I'd hooked a cormorant and he was shaking his head above the water. A few morew turns on the reel and it was 5ft above the water, few more turns and the plug was at my rod tip. I reached up into the darkness and found a piece of line, hand over hand I pulled it in and finally I had a 38 inch bass flopping on the bank with a circle hook in its throat. That fish was towing over 50 yards of mono, I removed the hook and released her, hopefully she'll make it. Very strange.
