Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / I'll Never Know
« on: March 08, 2015, 08:54:27 AM »
Yesterday afternoon around 5:00 sent out a oversized mac head while fishig the SNBF. My rod started to bounch and the clicker started screaming. I put it in gear and whatever was on was running so fast the bearings were singing. I tightened down the Carbon drags fully when I saw my top shot of 65# spectra dissapear and then my 50# PP backing started shrinking rapidly. By this time there was over 250 yards missing off my reel with no signs of it slowing down. Myself and a few others saw whatever it was clearing the water and trying to shake the hook a few times. With no more drag to apply I started using both thumbs in an attempt to slow it down, once again with no effect. All I could do is watch it jump and look at the rapidly dimenishing supply of backing on my reel. After loosing what had to be around 375 yards of line my rod jumped up and off it swam. Turns out the crimp gave way on my leader.  All of this transpired in about 45 seconds and after my hands quit shaking I sat down to think about what happened. As much as I would have liked to land it, or even see what it was the outcome was perfect. Another 15 seconds or so It would have spooled me and been swimming around the ocean with 425 yards of braid hanging out of it's mouth. As is, all it has now is a new "lip ring". Took me a few minutes to realize the outcome was what was best for the "beast" and the heartbreak went away. Thanks for reading my rant and much respect, Verne

If I really need to get my baits out there, well, I've reached that stage in life where I'm more than happy and can afford to buy the young studs plenty of beer to paddle baits out for my tired old lazy a$$ ;D

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Congrats Eric, it's amazing how many 50" plus bats have hit the sand in the last two weeks.  What we're lacking in quantity we're making up for in quality  8) 8) 8)
