Spooled again

[BassDawg]

NOT so strange to me, Chris,,,,,,,,

on the AM of the 21st i had an eeeel p-up,
at slack HIGH, 0320, she went 50 yds to the left

STOPPED, turned 90 degrees ~~on a dime,

and then proceeded to attempt to spool me like she
wasn't even hooked i stopped her at about 20 yds from the end
with me thumb on my PENN750ssm. i figure a run of at least
160-185yds and she would've kept heading for GLCSTR had i not
thumbed the reel.

short gain with 25#BCountry, then she would've hit the open seas had i not thumbed the reel again at about 10yds,,,,,,,,,,,,,another gain of about 30 yds and

she's off and running again until about 7 yds from zero, i stopped her and gained 20 agonizing yards as i felt the line drag across multiple rocks, she hunkered down and then she rubbed and rubbed and rubbed and i chose to try to bring her in as i felt the line against the rocks get weaker and weaker and weaker and SNAPPPP!!!

if my reel could've held the capacity she would've run for
500 yards and i felt no sign of weakening in her even after her fourth run!!!
what a beast and a BEEE yooo TEE of a fight!!

Whoa, there, Cowboy. There isn't a bass on the planet that's going to run 500 yards.
