Chris,
It happened once to me this year. I had 100 plus yards of line out and 250 total on the spool, so technically 150 yards could be erased if you're in big current. In that scenario, it doesn't necessarily take a world record fish, either.
It also depends on the angle you're fishing. In other words, if the fish is directly down tide from you in the current, it’s feasible this could happen. If you're fishing the spot I'm thinking of and you were to the left of the big rock, I could see it happening, particularly if it was the middle of the tide and you have a lot of line out prior to hookup.
I vowed to wrap the line around my sleeve and pray if a fish gets deep on me again. Try getting perpendicular to the current too. If you’re left of the rock, walk over to the right as far as you can go and get the fish in an eddy.
I feel your pain, Bro. Get out there for another crack at em soon.
