i've done stuff just like that, and it seems when you have the really big one right at the boat, it always breaks your line.

Reeled in a nice channel cat the other day on a super light rod with like 4 pound test line. It was around 2' or so and I got it all the way up to the dock. Raps it's self around the post on the dock so I go to grab it and the damn thing gives one good whip of the tail and goes....

had a 22 pound channel cat on the line maybe 3 feet from shore it does a nose dive and pulls out my hooked and the bait is slung back at my face.

caught a 28" pbass in my backyard canal, and as I was going to put it into the bucket (to keep), i dropped it on the canal bank and it flopped back into the water. I was ticked

I have had salmon jump out of the boat just as I got the hook loose.

my brother had a 2'+ carp less than 2 feet from shore in about 8" of water and flipped around and snapped the line.
