Is it better to have hooked and lost or to have never have hooked at all? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The not knowing is the part that always sucks, but given the amount of strikes you had I'd venture to guess you might have run into a wayward school of WSB & that would have me kicking myself from here to St.Swizzin's day!!!
I feel for you sir, you have my deepest condolences.

How frustrating! I say better to hook. WSB is my guess for your encounter. If it happened to me I'd try to convince myself that it was a big school of bat rays

sounds like a blast! I think you should hit that same area again rather than Dana Point
