Cool report!

sure sounds like a T, but still - it would have been nice to ID it underneath.

This winter I had something on early, in the dark, that I could just not stop... Emptied out my spool in leisure slow but super powerful run, like it didn't even know it was hooked. Ended up breaking it off at the swivel as I totally locked the drag when I figured it can't be anything I could eat.

Strange.... A very similar thing happened to me on Sunday as well... towed me for 5 mins or so, but I couldn't slow the darn thing down, whatever it was. After letting it take 300 yds of my line I tightened up and it snapped off on a 30# leader. I was thinking thresher too, but who knows!

This is the time of year the big threshers start to come close to shore to breed, so very likely it was a big T. The big ones sound like a submarine when hooked.
