Tawn; you tell your guys to let it out 10 black marks and you trust it to be out correctly

I have a buddy, he fishes with me often, his initials are Lou, oh crap, thats his name; well I cut my braid on my deepest rods. I have them tied at 50 ft. I leave enough "tag" on the line so it's easy to see where I tied it.

Lou picks up one of the rods and says,"How far back"? I tell him, "Let it out to the knot". I'm busy doing something else and don't give Lou another thought. After a while, he says, "How far out is this supposed to be"? I tell him 50 ft. He says, "Uhmm, I think I goofed".
I look back and see the knot where the braid is tied to the BACKING!!

I tell him, "Start Cranking, nobody but you brings that line back in to the boat". It had to be out 350ft with an umbrella
It was the last time he ever did that
