I also feel your pain....Had a very similar experience this summer...could not believe it. I had a fresh spool of braid and watched it all peel off to the knot is a steady non-stop run. My thought process was ...30...40...50+...whoa, this is no bass, this fish is larger that I am. I put amazing pressure on this beast once I got past the whoa point, and it had no effect whatsoever on the speed or direction of the fish.
IMO it was a big shark or large seal. I've caught a lot of big sharks and it felt like a shark but I never saw it.
The scary thing was....it hit about 30 yards off the beach. There is no way you will see me out there.
IMO, no bass can take that kind of line with that kind of pressure, not even a 100#er. They pause, rest/kite and run and each successive run has less in it than the last.
