I was bombing a casting bubble and a wolly bugger across a stocked pond with my spin rod in BC and i had a great blue heron swoop down and grab the bubble off of the surface and take flight!

I loosened my drag off and let him go not wanting to hurt such an awesome bird, he took all my line up over the trees on the other side of the water and just as i ran out of line i lowered my rod parallel with ground and held on tight...when it tightened it was hard to hold...i actually was able to reel the line back in after he let it go in the trees saved the line and bubble but the bugger sadly was no more...
