BIG ONE GOT AWAY(AS ALWAYS)

[mikeeasttn]

Fishing late yesterday(Friday) and casting secondary points to main channel.  Was fishing sexy swimmer(strike king) when I had a hit that nearly took rod from hands.  The line was peeling off and I though I had hooked a big striper.  Held the fish for a few minutes then line when limp.  Thought line had broken but when reeled in still had snap on line with the ring from the bait.  To tear a bait up like that it must have been a big muskie and he crushed bait.  Was using P-Line CXX in 15# test.  How it ever held I never know.  Has anyone else had this or something similar happen to them?  By the way that P-Line is really strong and muskie must have had rear of bait not to bite line into.

Happens a lot here.My buddy was fishing today and he set the hook so hard(His line snapped)he fell off this ledge he was fishing.Down tumbling he went.After making sure he was alright,I was crying so hard from laughing.That Pike bit his lure off clean.  ;D

That big pike had to be pushing 30 inches.

He also had a 24" pike on as well..when i went to grab it the pike broke off and his rod tip whacked me in the face.  ;D
