Montauk late 80's fishing the outgoing at night on North bar in early November. I was using a 2 OZ white bottle plug and getting shorts on the teaser. It was raining and I was tired. At about 3 am I kept looking at the truck and thinking about the heater and then boom. Just non stop line departing. After 20 seconds I start walking down (bobbing mostly as I was already up to my ribs) but it's not stopping. I turn on my light as I feel the backing knot ting through the guides. Why I didn't tighten up initially is a good question that I still can't answer. Anyway, a few violent bangs later all went limp. I reeled in and found that every hook on both trebles are gone. Just two metal stubbs. I FU'd and the fish found the rocks that did the job.
