Josh, it has happened to all of us and you can bet it won't happen again. You will remember to double check no matter how tired. I lost a fish on a riggie at Black Point one night. Screaming drag and after 2 runs.....nothing. Line comes back with a pigtail on the end. From then on I tie a 3 turn clinch or Palomar and then throw an overhand knot on top just to be sure.

No boat, back in the suds.
