MMM I was fishing for salmon

MMM I was fishing for salmon once and as I walked across some reefy hole I saw an octopus, thought I'd show my mate who was 100 yards away so I dropped my popper down to it so I could hold it there until he arrived.  Trouble was the occy was large with arms at least a metre long.  As soon as I hooked him he stuck out an arm grabbed a bit of reef and pulled himself into a hole.  By the time my mate arrived all you could see was my line disappearing under a ledge.  Lost my popper.
