I "spooled" a kid fishing off the beach on Cape Cod while sailing a couple of years ago. The kid's lure caught my rudder and hooked in solidly as I sailed by on a reach at a high speed. The kid thought he had caught a whale. Later on, when I landed on the beach, Dad came walking up, looked at me with an annoyed look as I handed him his kid's lure.

I'll never forget the sight of the kid with his rod bent over and the sound of the drag as all of his line was stripped.

Good times.
