Had somethng similar happen to me at Tommy Thompson, was casting a Rapala off shore, ended up snagging a MASSIVE carp, I thought I had a big pike or something, until I managed to reel it close to the shore and saw the monster. It freed it self.
Wow thanks for introducing this to me. I'm getting back into fishing after a long break and this is just what I needed! I've always thought of recording my fishing trips in the past haha
