Yep twice once fishing chunk at Portugee hole. Whatever it was it took off and even after climbing the rocks and trying to slow the fish down, I was unsucessful - snapped at the backing.
Second time was jigging with a crippled herring at the run. I looked both ways for traffic and only saw the coast guard crash boat ( the red rubber speedster) a long way away. He was actually somewhere about the mussle bed. I Cast into the current as far as I could heave it and let it sink to the first bump. before I could reel the boat was on me and he picked up my line. A brand new spool of 65 lb. power pro wrapped his prop including 5 oz. jig and all I could do was point straight at him and watch the line part at the backing. I still think he did it to me on purpose.

low & slow 37
