I don't think you did any thing wrong. That happens some times. In a hobie you can hold the rod and keep super light thumb presure in freespool. But I have caught loads of fish from a paddle kayak with the rod in the holder. What kind of fsh did the other yakkers hook? You said your bait was bloodied up badly. YT have strong jaws but no teeth, so they ususally crush the bait. Calicos leave sort of a sand papery skin removal. WSB will cut baits up. But it sounds to me like you had a cuda give your bait a drive by. Cuda don't eat big dines too well but they will shred the shit out of them and then drop them. Just mean i guess. If it was a cuda you could have fly lined it for 20 seconds and still not hooked it. You'll get em next time. Mike
