sydangler Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Yer I've been trying to figure out how he got me. It broke so far up the braid all I can come up with is something in the water hit it ie another fish or a large stick or he has gone over the drop off and got so deep my braid hit the top of it.

Depends on where you were fishing in MH but i've had big leatherjackets biting my line above the leader lately. Could explain what happened to you. Underwater boulder or snag is next best bet.

sydangler Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Year its time to pull out the big guns. Next session fish 50-80lb. I don't like fishing heavy for Jews but if he go me over the drop off it might be the only hope. Might put out a bait on 30lb mono as well.

gianniz Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 mate sometimes what you missed out can be the greatest thrill. i bet you'd be telling this story for a while and most of all you'll probably end up with new tackle and enthusiasm to nail it next time. i bet your mind is going nuts thinking about what was actually on the end of the line and how big????

Shannan Nath Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Sincere condolences mate. Getting busted off is the worst thing about fishing well apart from not getting any bites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
