Its an amazing thing to behold for sure...I had a 9' sturgeon on a while back and it seriously worked me over for the better part of an hour until I was shaking severly with fatigue...but like you..after all that time and work...he broke the line and got away...still the most fun Ive had fishing in years! Congrats..I was going to buy a giant spinning reel as well but my buddy told me he had one and one big fish killed it...so I recommend getting a really decent sized levelwind Penn...something with a good drag that is actually built for that kind of fight...
