Ever Spooled and Won

[fishsmith]

Yes, one of the few risks when leaving your rod in a sand spike is being distracted an having a fish hit. I had my drag somewhat loose and by the time I saw a fish was on, the line pulled from the reel, I ran like a bat out of hell into the water, got the line tangled around my feet, but was able to thread it back down the rod and bring in a that nights bluefish dinner.
