As was usually the case, I had the drag locked down tight. We never wanted to fight the fish, as they weren't making me any money if they were in the water. Not really conducive to fighting muskie. I should have contact Abu Garcia to see if they were interested in seeing what happened to one of their pieces of equipment. Literally the only thing I could salvage off the reel was the handle. Heck, the reel seat was even twisted.
