Even though I know full well that most fishing reels are able to store a large amount of line for the very line diameters that they are constructed for, I do know for a fact that some anglers spool up improperly with line that is too thick or with not enough line. This increases the chance of an angler being spooled by a large fish to a considerable degree. Even so, it is possible for a fish to spool a properly wound reel and surprise an angler, especially if it is of considerable size. My questions are - Have you ever been spooled by a fish before? If so, how big was the fish if you happened to see it? How many runs? What test line/equipment? How long was the fight? And why were you spooled? Was being spooled the result of being underprepared, or was it due to some major goof up? I want to hear some good stories. Also, for those that are confused, spooling is when a fish pulls out all of a reel's line before the line-to-spool connection is snapped, leaving no line left.
