Also happened to me this year, I think it happens to me every year,
But my worst was a Block Island fish that took 2/3's of my line off the spool. I fought her for some time then the line just went slack, when I reeled my line back in the hook was stuck into the belly of the eel. I figure the fish swallowed the eel then spit it up and up in the struggle.

I feel your pain
