The storm w............ The big one started ripping off line and I was slow (paralyzed) to move the lever towards full and...pop!

Thanks, everybody!  I wanted to mention that the video Cor posted of YT chasing surface iron from the rocks really helped (http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=27297.msg313581#msg313581).

The speed of the retrieve and the persistence of the YT chasing the lure helped me keep reeling fast from the bottom sometimes getting hit 3 times before a hookup. 

Thanks, Cor!

Steve

a great morning!

Yes Steve it was an eye opener.  I did some further research on the subject.  I read that if you see the fish trailing the lure, reel faster.  The trailing fish will register the lure as panicking and trying to get away, so it would trigger a strike.  It seems counter intuitive but I have to bow to the experience fishermen.  Dominick
