Thanks guys! It was quite an experience. I'm shocked it didn't rock me either! I was using my Hot Shot plastic rod (rated for 10 - 20 lb.) with 12 lb. Maxima. There were a few kelp patches around and the fish got in them twice. Each time when it finally pulled my rod tip snapped up and the line went slack - both times my stomach sank because I hadn't seen it yet but to my amazement it was still there. At that point more than anything I just wanted to know what it was.

It just goes to show that you never know what's lurking out there - I'm thinking of switching to 15 lb. test for fishing plastics.
