I had something like that happen at RP last year. Too quick to be a seal, never figured it out. I did have it stopped at one point, then off to London!
Later,
Rick

Funny that there would be 2 sharks in one spot, I always though sharks to be loners

My guess is seals. A stella 8000 and 50 lb line is stopping any inshore shark you are likely to run into. Something that runs with steady smooth power, then stops and can't be moved, then starts again and spools you is exactly how the seals I've tangled with acted. One ate a needlefish, the other took a small bass seconds after it hit. Both left me shaking.

Agreed. My guess would be seal.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
