Sandman, A shark might have eaten the plug or you could have hooked a big North Atlantic Stingray. I just got back from two days of fishing/diving Block Island where I filmed the biggest stingrays I've ever seen...three feet thick and 10 feet long! I also found a monster that had the majority of its tail eaten...no doubt by a shark. It's a jungle out there I tell you.

Mike, That is why I don't swim in the ocean at night. I don't know how you do it, scares the bejezzus out of me just thinking about it.

I got spooled in the canal the other night.. 65 lb power pro on a VS 275 and a 1209... there's no way a bass would own me like that.. took 500+ yrds like nothing.. the big moon tide didn't help either.. Im guessing shark or maybe seal..

Or a horse mackerel

Two or three people get a few minutes of excitement from a bluefin every season.

1321M, vs300, fireline xds 60lb if you can find it anymore, no backing no blood knots. If a fish spools that its earned the rite to swim away.

Had almost the same thing happen to me last week.

Sat in the boat wondering what the hell it was, then all of a sudden a stupid seal swam by with my 20 Dollar crazy crippler stuck in its face.
