[laugh] Dang dave, you should have framed that lure. That's crazy, finding your lure with all the line attached still.
I've been spooled a couple of times, once by a Mako shark, and i'm not shure what got me last time. I guessed it was a really big Wahoo. I spotted a school of tuna churning the water and free-dropped a rod in the wash that had a reel that was way too small. Hell, I didn't figure on hooking anything with it, I was basically just trying to tease something onto my stand up rods; but it didn't work out too well. It sucks watching all the line peel off the reel and there is nothing you can do about it. Half of you wants to cut the line to salvage it, the other half keeps hope that maybe you can turn him. People don't respect fishermen/women enough, we make alot of hard decisions under intense stress. [cool]
