Glad you made it through safely Jim. Sounds like a bad night but luckily you had Roby with you. There is always an inherent risk fishing from a small plastic boat, and the seas are always willing to teach us a lesson or two.

Wow man that's crazy! I'm glad you did some things right - wore your PFD and went with a buddy.
No leashes? Oh well, lesson learned there but imagine if the hooked up line was the one that wrapped around your leg... definetly get that knife on your PFD!

yikes. sorry to hear about your loss. i tend to keep my drags real low in case of a line peeler, then i can still yank my rod out of the holder. sometimes i even click it on freespool and thumb it a bit to keep a tiny bit of pressure while taking it out of the rod holder.

Glad your safe Jim, sounds like it could have been much worse.
Advice? 1. Don't fish more than 2 rods in that situation. 2. Make sure any dead sticks have the drag set lighter.
