Absolutely devastated, 270 odd meters gone in a minute! It's gunna be 500m minimum for me from now on!

It was Cavy in the pacific ocean messing with you and swimming back to Indonesia

I reckon it was a Tuna. My brother got spooled few years ago when he threw a floating pilchard out and a massive bluefin dive bombed on it and ran so hard he got spooled on a 6000 size reel within 30 secs... Keep up the awesome work mate.

The truly amazing thing that I see is that the reel didn't grenade on you. That is a testament to how crazy good the reels have developed with the new technology they have.

I felt that line pop through my spine and into my soul

I had the same thing happen to me like 10 years ago and I will never forget it. The question of what species it was that spooled me is definitely the part that makes it hard to forget.....but fuels the fire to keep fishing. Awesome video as always Briggsy!

You are me over 25 years ago bro. Me and my Dad still talk about a fish that spooled me. He still asks me “so what u reckon that fish was?”

“Forest gum box of chocolates” I died. 110kg Yellowfin for sure

Damn man that was heavy! I've been spooled 2 times once was a 6ft blacktip shark on my bait rod and the 2nd was a 7'+ tarpon from the beach, but at least I got to see what they were..... keep up the great work with your videos and time to bring the big gear next time!

Smoked 😂 How many times have you watched that strike trying to work on out what it was?

worst insult by a fish, being spooled til all your line is gone then break and your screwed the rest of the day, good times good times! 🤙🏻

sorry for that mate .. I know the feeling. Even now, 5 or 6 years after I got spooled I can still feel those emotions that I had back then. cheers mate ...

Thing like this, makes A Fisherman... Spend more 😂😂😂

Don’t wait a week re-spool that reel 😂. I know it’s tough on the body heck I am still working on getting back into that shape again. Epic stuff as usual!

Must have been a huge Tuna! Wow, never seen something hit that hard and spool that quickly!

I bet I know which reel Briggsy gives away next 😂

That fish spooled my expectation to a very exiting episode as fast as your reel... Your fishing session is my youtube session!😂

That tink when it popped. I think you can class that as a bust off and you've still never been spooled!

Wow ...... i fish for perch here in the uk ...... now and again I might catch a large pike... but what you have just experienced is on a totally different level ...just watching you trying to hold on for dear life whilst whatever was attached to the end of your line was speeding off as if it was attached to a boat !!! That’s just amazing! Bet you were devastated but it’s an experience you will never forget. That was just brilliant. Hope you manage to get yourself sorted so you could carry on fishing again !! 😵😵😵

Know the feeling has happened twice to me in 48 years. It sucks not knowing what it was.

That is Briggsy! The LEGEND!!! I'm devastated no one else is this Rad. So Cool!

Jesus dude, the drag at the end was serious. Love those FCL poppers

Briggsy!! I've had "freight train" runs but never spooled! That was crazy!!!💪💪💪💪💪

If you’ve never had this happen, it can be difficult to understand the way it makes you feel. So crushing! You took it like a champ though! ✌️

F***in Legend!! Love the Aussie Accent! Feel ya when You saying "not to know what it was is haunting You for the rest of Your life" Cheers from the US

Hey mate love ya videos, you’ve inspired me heaps keep doing what your doing

I have lost a few giants these past couple weeks sturgeon fishing. I feel your pain bro. Happens to the best of us.

Amazing man ! I enjoy watching you guys getting after it. Slowly getting into it here in Texas. 🤟🏽

Wooooooo !!!! That was mental bro. You got one hell of a story to tell tho. And the take was on film. Some of the fish out there are also Ledge Lords. Keep at it legend. Yeeeeeew !!!!

HEAVY! Had a dream/nightmare about this last night. Worst feeling is the "I wonder what it was" but we'll never know. Mother Nature has other plans for that one.

Oh man, I think that was a shark, the blowup was MASSIVE

Just got spooled like that today on Sand Key in Florida. I’m from Connecticut so so I was using my lighter gear with 8lb line. I just couldn’t turn the fish. I wanted to show my kids what happened so I’m using your video. I’ve caught 30” Black Drum on this setup, not a chance in hell today. Great video, sorry for the loss. Thanks

That’s the feeling that adds to the addiction. At least you got it all on film lol. Heavy brah

Briggsy got that mew bg mq, jeeewwww! Awesome video again man! Big up from Holland.

Holy shit Briggsy, epic experience. What a strike, I’m guessing big yellowfin, I feel your pain bro. ✌️

I don't know that feel.. wish I did !! Hell yeah brother!

Bro that was insane!!! That was a big fish! 🤯

The one that got away that you also never got to see is a horrible feeling. I have experienced it a few times before and I cannot agree that it is really haunting to just never be able to know 'what the hell it was'

Damn that's intense I get get excited when it pulls drag for a few seconds

Fishing offshore was awesome 80 W Taigra gone in Minutes... But i was looking at huge Blue Marlin swim away before the line went BAM......... Thank you for the video

That was crazy🤙🏽

That spooling was thrilling!!!

Wow bro not had that feeling yet. Looking forward to it

Dude this vid fuels fire to your soul!!🎣🤘

Amazing Briggsy❤️🤙

Epic footage!

I was spooled on a 975 International (Penn) just a few days ago and never saw it. I was putting 40lb fish in the boat no worries, but this thing never slowed down at all, must have been a big bull shark. It's been a while for me too. I know the feeling, if you could have just seen it. Oh well, beats not getting bit. I live for that moment when your quarry has exceeded your expectations and you have to go back to the drawing board.

That was psycho as we saw the eat and splash, and then the run,that was BIG🤔🤔🐟🐟Briggsy!!!!

Thats exactly what happen to me bro . i got spooled 9 years ago when i braught my old $15 dollar set up. I hook something really big in the surf and i just couldnt stopped it.

I know that feeling so well

"What was That!!!" That's what we all were thinking! Awesome!

That happened to me 5 years ago bro. I never miss your vids. Shannon from Trinidad and Tobago.

Thats what I call fishing CRAZY has only happened twice to me on 100lb pandora on a 10500 slammer 3 and just could not even get ground so it didnt pull me off my rocks its nuts Briggsy i feel for you your reel will need a overhaul new washers epic indeed mate amazing vid TIGHT LINES just not that tight lol love ya work mate

Increíble pero cierto 🎣💪🐟 fue un gran pez fue inmenso se llevó la linea sin parar buen video hermano 🤝

happened to me as well last night, exactly like yours, same noise at the end at the spool / line clanking off thinking the noise was a broken guide. i reckon mine was a mantaray. my little 3000 model spinning reel gave it a couple turns, and then it took off again to infinity. i used a 1oz silver spoon.

That was a BIG fish!!!

That's insane bro! I can't sat I know the feeling but I sure would love to.

getting brooksy stradic vibes from that one bro, must have been a monster

I would look into that reel after an experience like that, it may have COOKED whatever lubricant is in there!!!! Seriously, as much as those cost, I wouldn't use it again until you do.... I'm reminded of your quarantine video, when you tied up to a backpack and put it on Ochre, it stopped her COLD!!! That was a serious display of strength and power right there!!!!! WOW

we need more briggsy kitchen bruv! hit more on that side from now on and put 500m just to ensure you have more vids coming up. lots of love from Malaysia m8! cheers

love your videos ,Big FISH spooled

That was awesome!

Briggsy I would also take a week off hahaha. We target sharks on 20k spools and we rather go with a thinner braid like 50lbs and get more line on the spool. When we go too heavy we don't get enough line to turn the shark. This only applies on sandy beaches in my opinion. If a big fish wants to go you can't stop it in 300m. Love your channel and hope you land the next monster.

That happen to me on Saturday, drag was tight it could go and it was still taking line and it snapped. Didn’t see the fish at all. Couldn’t wind at all.

Awesome video that was one tough fish😁

Man, what a cool hook-up!

What an awesome moment

Awesome video 👍🏻

Frothin watchin that briggsy if only the fish hadn't taken an inch!!!🎣🎣🔥🔥🔥

Amazing fight 😍😍

I've lived every second of this video 🤪🤯😱

crazy fish bro that is a monster👍

had something like that happen to me a couple years back, but im pretty sure it was a doormat flounder from the feeling and rythm. full drag lock, hand on spool to help, could not make it turn even a bit. pretty sure the fish didnt even realised what was happening. fells good AND bad at the same time. dang i love fishing.

I hate to see so much line going into the ocean.. hopefully it doesn’t cause any harm! I’ve never been spooled before, and I hope it never happens! Well done mate 👍😄

Epic content. Keep up the good work, learnt so much from you. Really inspiring

You and me both need a week to recover from that.. holy shiiiit♥️ insane wft

That hit was nuts. Big tuna bro

GAME OVER REEL!!!!

Your idea fully worked then bang no line hectic bro!

epic spooling!!

CRAZZZZZZZY TUNA FOR SURE

that is insane bro

Epiccc brooo 😁 good heart pump 😂

that was insane

That fish made it to New York City from were your at that was mental brother that was a beast bro good to see your video I'm happy your doing the vids again God bless you and your family like always excellent video

that's crazy dude, that happened so quickly

BIG explosion Briggsy! Yep not knowing what it was is a killer 😮

Hugeeeeee 🔥🎣 on fire

I love seeing the daiwa models you guys get in Aus and NZ that we US guys don’t get.

OMG!!!! I HOPE I WAS THERE AND SEE IT LIVE...LOL WHAT A DAY DUDE!! YEWW

whooa.. its really huge fish bro

Fishing is all fun until that one freak fish literally spools your soul out in seconds leaving you and your gear (no matter how good) as an afterthought. Happens to anyone and everyone and believe me, it will linger forever. But then again THAT is what makes it worth coming back for more.

A mate hooked something down deep on a live yakka. It kept circling for ages until my mate put his weight behind the line to lift the fish and then the fish took off. Massive speed that just kept going. The line snapped when we used a towel to put the brakes on the reel, probably snapped near the terminal tackle as we wound back hundreds of metres. The speed of the fish had pushed the sinker back a hundred metres just from water pressure. We think it was a massive tuna. That was forty years ago and I remember it still. Monsters be down deep where the dead men lie.

That was str8 mento!!!

I had the line roller break some braid before on a GT on pe4, it happens :( good rush and total disappointment all at once, but that's why we do it hey!

That helplessness is painful. Outclassed and undergunned

That was epic

Nice vid guys 👍

well that was a bit hectic mate. set of floaties and get after it briggsy.

I was spooled live baiting at Tomaree using a Mitchell499 back in the day. Took close to 500m of 15kg and we never got a look at it , on and gonski !! Know how you feel mate.
