Sorry to hear you lost that big one Forest. From my experience, any time I catch a cat at Willard, it is always smart to retie my line, replacing at least the bottom two ft of line. Those cats love to roll when you catch them and I have lost more than one lure to a fish after having one of the cats nick my line and I forgot to check it before putting it back out. Now, I usually just run my finger nail up the bottom two feet or so of line and replace that section, if I feel any sort of nick. it just isn't worth it to lose a nice fish and a good lure because I did not check my line.
