i got spooled (8ft shakespear 2pc with a shimmano 400s 17#test with about 175yrd left on it) at the mouth of a big rolling current one night this fall..im on and what ever i got hooked is taking line like a boat..the drag got tweaked down a little more and was now set as tight as it could go.. and this thing keeps pulling me.. one looong and in the end shaky run. My spool is getting low and now im starting to panic and begin cupping it...the rod guides, reel and line start ticking...tick tick tick tick tick tick then the tell tale "snap" at first i thought it was a big bass but now i thinkn it may have been a seal or bluefin. The weekend after that night I got impulsive and splurged on a penn 7500 w/ my cc.
