Record perhaps?

So here I am mid october taking some fish in the low to mid 20lb class, wasn't fishing much this year but for some reason got into a grove, (perhaps just a lil more time to devote). Standing on a rock I dont usualy get to perch on and bang , takes the eel, set up , set up twice to make sure, good stick!! Weird lil bits of drag not once but, once ,twice ,three times, possible a forth, lil blurred( didnt realize till later the fish was backing up because when i stuck it it didnt have the room to turn around). Then it turns and starts swimming, I know I have a big fish but cant get a read on it because i am around a rock, and then 2, as it keeps swimming away. No worries I have never dropped a fish over 40 lbs from the surf on an eel. Still swimming, I look down 2/3'ds into my vs 300 with 60# fireline XDS, (ya I still have some), had to change my stance on the rock earlier becase if it did snap I would have been on my back in the water, the 132 1m bent over as much as it possibly could be, I know I have a huge fish here as soon as i checked my spool the fish stopped behind a 3'd rock as near as I could tell. Can't get a feel for the weight because of the rocks but saying to myself this fish is done. Through the head shakes, and gill rakes i felt confident but now can feel the leader, 80# fluro, being rubbed on the rock, I know the fish is done and if I let off it should come rite up to the surface, gotta do it , too long scraping that leadre on the rock, let off enough to get it up, and ya it worked reeling fast feeling enough pressure to say the fish is now swimming twards me, I friggen did it this fish is going to be huge, bigger than i can imagine I know it, ah but no, the tension dosen't change, sick feeling , I know its just the eel with about 400 yds out, dropped it, omg I dropped it, I just cant believe I dropped it. Reeling in forever to get the line back in , just about there and pulling it over a huge rock, just about over, lil tug to pop it over , what, nothing, WTH, reel the last 40 to 60 yds , see the leader frayed like all the way to the top with the half of it that came back. Just standing there looking at it in disbelief, dropped a fish of a life time, nothing I can do, absloutly nothing I can do, one more cast after i reset, 12 lb fish skimming across the water, still sick. released it dozen more casts, nothing, nothing. Slid down into the water off the rock, beside myself, still beside myself.
