It deppresses me to think about it but, I was out in my 19' sportcraft about 10 years ago. I was chunking pogie and had a pickup. She took off like a frieght train, peeling a good 75 to 100 yards off my spool(40 lb test). then she turned around and came back at me, I could barely keep up. In my inexpirience I thought she would have been tired after 2 sprints like that so I tightend the drag up a little and almost got pulled overboard before she broke off, Damn, I never even saw her and I've still never caught a fish over 25 pounds, but this must have been huge. I'll get her someday.
