I was on my kayac at the mouth of the Nisqually river yesterday fishing with a slver plated pot of gold spoon when I saw a grayish white mass 3 feet below the surface and grab my sppon. Scared the living hell out of me! It was like the video of the guys marlin fishing when the marlin goes on a run and the line rips off the reel. Unfortunaly I was using 20lb braid, and within 10 seconds half my spool was gone, and had forgotton my spare spool. I took the drag setting to max and thank god the line broke instead of my rod. It was an errie feeling being surrounded by about 20 seals at the mouth of river. I could tell they were pissed just me being there.
