It has happened numerous times to me, but the last most disappointing was in August of this year while salt water fishing. I was wading the backwater mangroves with light tackle fishing for speckled trout and small mackeral. I had a flurocarbon leader, fishing with 8 lb test, and tied into a huge redfish. Got it up close to where I was in waist deep water but the last run it just snapped off. Man, what a rush!! I caught two redfish later on the boat with larger tackle that were 33", but not nearly the rush as fighting it on that light gear.
