As fast as you can you let line of as you are picking up the pole and don't pull on it and at the same time you start turning the boat as fast as you can and go exactly the opposite way and put you thumb on the line with the pole pointing straight at the spot you are hung and keep going....I get back about 9 out of 10 cranks back doing that...probably lose 4 or 5 cranks a year. I lose more to catfish and musky than I do to brush......
