Trout fishing with live shrimp under a cork? Happened today in the mouth of the gulf... Line took off and I couldn't even get one crank on him. Shimano symetre 2500 with 30# power pro. I've got 40" reds before, and this has never happened before. We didn't have time to lift the power pole and run with him. I'm thinking a shark. What says the OB?

As soon as my bait hit the water, bait fish took off, I saw a splash, and all hell broke loose.

As a kid, I ran up and down grand isle state parks beach fighting a fish. Turned out to be a jack. Hell of a fight.

So basically you fed something and it took off without letting you get a crank in? I say mermaid. Must be her time of the month.

I'll be here all week.

I was going to make a joke about "that time of the month" and me getting plenty of cranks in...
