Big fish

I just came in from fishing in the rain from the bank, I was using my
tiny pan fish worm and the wiggle rig,, I was catching a number of 2 to
3 pound spotted bass on it having a ball, the water temp was 48 degrees
and these guys were not fighting a whole lot, Kind'a like dragging in a
stick.

I was using a 9 1/2 foot St. Croix steel head rod, and a Abu spinning
reel lined with 6 lb test, I have caught highbred strips up to 12 lbs on
this rig, and a 22 pound flat head cat on a rig like it, with 4 lb line,
so I'm used to HOGS hitting this rig,, but not like this.

I threw out about 50 yds and I'm wiggling this tiny worm, now we are
talking 1/8 in dia, and 3 inches long, tiny, I feel a bump on it and set
the hook, It was like the fish did not know it was hooked, the rod
doubles, and the line starts feeding out slowly, no head shaking, just
slowly going out, until he pulled it "all" out, and then the 6 lb line
just snapped, that fish pulled 100 yds against a 4 lb drag setting, I
never even turned him, he never slowed up, but he was going slow anyway,
it was like he didn't even know I was back there. I have never had a
fresh water fish do me this way, I have had some big sharks do it to me
though. I don't have a clue about what kind of fish this was, this lake
has stripe, walleye, big bass, and huge catfish in it. Man I just wish
I could have seen the fish,, and no, the water was too shallow for any
Russian Subs :-)
