Running 2 lines - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've gotten bit on the dropper loop with a flyline also running out the back before, and the thing that wigged me out was having the fish spin me in circles, which wrapped the flyline around my spare rods and stuff. I was thinking about what would happen if something picked up the flylined bait and started spooling spectra out at warp speed when that spectra is all tangled in my stuff. I didn't love the thought.

My guess is this is a problem hobies don't have, since you can probably prevent that circling pretty easily with a few pedal strokes and clever rudder placement; but I have yet to figure out a method of controling the boat with the paddle and winding on a running fish at the same time.
