Twice Spooled
The first time was fishing a sandy Long Island beach near an inlet. It was a night and we were catching 4 - 6 lb weakfish on med. sized tackle. I hooked something on a small plastic bait and it just kept going and going. No head shakes, just a slow steady pull. It would pause every once in a while and then continue. We figured it must have been one of those jumbo rays that come in every summer. Eventually, I just held the spool tight to span the line or all the line would have disappeared.
Second time was from a gut trolling Moriched inlet as I worked the tip with a bucktail. Once again, my line just kept going.
