Bass are good at doing that. I had a pike do the. same thing to me today, I couldn't catch up to it until it was on the other side of my boat. Anywho, you might want to try a larger hook, maybe a 2/0 or 3/0.
I was at sand hollow a couple weeks ago but only fished for a little bit, quail was producing bigger fish so went back there (after getting the boat decontaminated. Fishing should be great at both right now....I keep getting sidetracked lol
5.2:1 5.3:1 are typical for spinning reels I use the Daiwa Exceller reels that are 6.3:1 for the same reason you are talking about. Sometimes you gotta get em to your feet before they know what happened.
