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.

That happened to me when a boat came out of now where's.I was sure I was cleared,Confirmed my suspicions thet the line goes out an then down.the water holds it up in the colum.
I had a good one last night would have spooled most guys.I had the 1209 double over 90 I had about 9 lbs of drag cuppin the spool when i went 1/2 turn tighter in effort to lift the beast off the bottom in a 5 knot current.this went about 90 seconds Something had to give I don't believe the rod didn't break.Line was makin bad noises.then it happened the jig pulled.There's a fish swimmin around with no lips this smornin.Probably could have let the fish play out a little more.This fish was down an stayin there.I thought I had to make a move on it if it got time to recoup i was done.Hook pullin then was alot better than after 5 more minutes of that,sometimes it's just not ment to be.
