I have been spooled once. Alot of guys say it's impossible if you know what you are doing but in 1978 at Monomoy I hooked up and fought the bitch for 15 minutes plus, had her in the curl twice, but when i saw her she was a monster and she just flicked that tail and took off. First cast right at dusk after dropping the boat on the beach. 7 inch Super Wind Cheater in Blue/Silver. She hit the current just of the beach and kept going with me running and praying but could not keep up and each time I tightened down the line would start to wail in the breeze.
That fish should have been almost dead but she just kept going.
I wish it had been dark and I had never saw her. Seeing her f*cked my mind and that f*cked the whole deal. Very, very big.
