I grabbed my gear and proceeded to the beach. After 3 hours of fishing, my buddy lost 2 big monsters. His line on his reel was stripped away by the whatever monster fish. Both of his multipliers were now empty or botak. It was 6.30pm and as i was reeling in my line, i felt a slight nibble. I whacked and the next moment i remembered was looking at my rod bending in a U- shape. My line was going out non-stop and i couldn't do anything about it. I tightened the drag of my reel, but it was to no avail. Within 2 minutes, the berkley 20lb mainline on my Abu 6500 was stripped nearly empty. I straigtened my rod, hoping to stop the "monster". At this time, my last two rings and the tip guide on the rod came off...!!!!
