Sounds kind of sweet and sour.
Two weeks ago I had a serious snag and could not free it. I even tied the line to a Cleat on the yak and got a running start and when the line got taught, it almost tipped me over. That was 50# spectra with a 30# leader. I eventually had to cut my line.
Just makes me wonder if what happened to you might be caused by a bad knot. What knot do use?
