One of my first sb reels was a 7:1 burner I used as double duty for topwater. While burnin' a hudd in for a re-cast I was watching some fish busting the opposite direction. While I watched the fish bust I started to get into position so I could cast to them,and before I knew it mayhem broke loose! I swear It was like JAWS wanted a bite of my boat or somethin'. I fell back and set the hook,had the fish on for a few white water head shakes,and she came unbuttoned. She was probably 10-12lbs and that was the first time I'd seen how fast and furious one of them big girls could be. Felt like I needed a qualude after that encounter.
