The best Googans are found when the blues come into Plymouth harbor and they congregate on the jetty. I saw one guy fishing a rod minus the tip top, half spool of KMart blue mono. He gets a pu on a pogy chunk and cranks down on the drag, rod doubles- friend screams for him to loosen drag. When he backs it off he doesn't stop till the drag knob flies off- falling in the rock crevice. Then the spool, spinning God knows what RPM, jumps off and hits the ground, line still smoking off- the spool looks like a ball in a pinball machine,zinging from rock to rock, accompanied by the clink, clank, clunk of aluminum on granite. I almost peed myself laughing when the spool finally shot up to the gathering guide and the line popped.
