Right down to the knot? Nope I dont think that happens, I cant imagine anyone standing there watching 200yards of line get taken right to the bottom of the spool...I think its more a term for losing a big fish or a way to relate how big a fish was etc, Sure fish will break you off after maybe a goooooood run but truly spooled? no doesnt happen in my opinion, Nor has it happened to any fisherman I have had this conversation with , we always laugh about that "being spooled" anyway, I have caught fish from 53lbs on down and was never in a situation where I thought I might be spooled and end up with no line, I have had fish I could not turn right away but those always busted me off long before the spool looked anywhere near depleted.......
Most spoolings if they do happen are most likely some other type of fish...Schoolie tuna, Sharks, etc....or a bad case of complety lose drag..........
