Glad to hear that you got it under control. That is not fun. It sure sounds like there wasn't quite enough line to ride between the swells and the stern of the boat. It can easily jerk in rough seas and dip the stern under. I have fished in the Aleutians of Alaska (Gulf of Alaska) for 25 years and have to take in account big seas and deal with this kind of situation often.
