There's this star-shaped wheel on the side of your reel that I think was designed to prevent stuff like that from happening... \:D :p \:D

Sorry, couldn't resist!

I feel for anybody who has hooked and lost one of those truly monster kings... been there three times myself. Valuable lessons learned each time. It's why I keep coming back, too!
