I was wondering why you stayed out in the dark, I should have turned my radio on, there was too much chatter earlier. Congrats on getting that BSB back down. You saw me get hit by the biggest and fastest fish I've ever felt. I've caught two 40lb+ fish this year and this was nothing like those. I was fishing a large greenback, 12" and thick, and I had tested the drag before dropping it, nice and tight. Whatever hit took 3/4 of my spool and I kept tightening the drag until it finally broke at the 30lb leader. Auuuggghhhhh!!!!
