I once seriously encountered a guy at the water's edge who spent about five minutes โ€œreeling inโ€ a snag. It would probably have been noticed much sooner if he hadn't set his brake so softly that every time he โ€œpumped,โ€ he lost as much line as he then reeled back in... It was funny to watch him.
