I know several ppl that do this same thing, I know what hooking the kicker can do, did that this year, was very glad I have my drags set light......it was crazy how fast it peeled the line off. Worked a few min cut the braid, worked a few more, had to pull the prop to clear the mess but once I did that I was posed I cut the braid cause it just lifted off and I could had reeled it right back up. Oh well too late now.
