Set the pole in the holder with drag loose, pick up my coffee thermos and -out goes the line screamin and strippin..... and then whatever was on it turned and headed back towards me. Could hardly reel fast enough. Got the slack out of the line about 3 feet from the boat, rod bent over almost double, and SNAP. Line broke
Sure got the blood pumping for a few minutes
