yeah i would have caught the biggest freshwater fish of my life today. i had my BIG bobber out with a minnow under it around 18 inches deep. and i see my bobber freaking out, so i let the fish take some line and BAM!!! i set the hook. he was ripping my drag out, i thought my reel was gunna be fried or something. my rod was bent like crazy! after he has ripped about 75 feet of line off the reel, my line goes limp. i thought he turned around and had started heading back at me, so i tried to reel in as much line as i could and i see my bobber rise and then i realize the fish is gone!! i am still trying to figure out what went wrong. i am so so mad.

but man did that thing feel big. i mean this rod handles 15-17lb catfish no problem so this must have been a monster.
