Hmmmm, braid + tight drag, - that is most likely the cause. The fish made hard fast runs and then - plink - off. I was more agressive in this particular spot to keep the fish from going downcurrent and fouling into some chunk baiters to my right side.
Plus i have some phobia about the fish going to the the deeper water and faster current, but when given time to think on it, i think it would the opposite.
As is typical for a spot like this, I had one fool cast a storm shad over my line, while fighting one of the fish, but he quickly freed it when i barked at him.
by now some of you (slingah) can probably figure where i was fishing, - been there the last two days after work, - back to normal mode - just schoolies.
