Thats not lucky. Every angler should hook at least one fish in their lifetime that spools on its first run. I've gotten spooled with 400 yards of 40 pound trilene big game on a accurate conversion, penn 500 jigmaster. Quarter of a mile in one smoking hot run.
That kind of fish will bring you religeon.
Got spooled twice in the same day in 99 fishing Kings with my daughter (early run) on the Samish River.
