What about a cow thats foul-hooked? If she's big enough, seems like it could cause similar problems. Was the PP frayed on the end indicating a break off? Did the knot just release? Foul hooked and her dorsal may have knicked it just right...
Just a thought...

Twice in a row in one night? My thoughts go to shark, large shark. I don't know how much current you are talking about but for a bass to do that , the current would have to be real fast and the larger, quicker of the 2 bass would have to be close to 80 lbs IMO I can't see how you could NOT stop a bass with that setup Jim, unless they both were foul hooked of course. What kind of plug? Shark will take plugs. Sounds like an exciting night.

Bass bites plug, then shark bites bass, I'm guessing. It's that time of year.

If it weren't coming from someone who clearly knows the ropes, I might have guessed seal grabbed your fish, but I imagine you've experienced that more than enough times to know what it feels like.

No bass swimming today will spool you like that. Tuna or shark |
No boat, back in the suds.

Maybe a big fish gave it a tail swat and you foul hooked it? IT suck when you dont get at least a peak of "what the hell was that?"

I say seal or shark, I can't see a bass doing that. It's the time of year where both are very possible and with this years temps and weather I think where in for some strange species around. Lots of sharks travel in schools so hooking two is possible and then againg I have had the same thing happen to me with seal in the middle of the night at chatham light.
