Snipe, i had the same thing happen in Southwest Pass a couple of weekends ago. it turned out to be specs and white trout about 8" long.
we settled into caldwell reef, current was rippin and small shrimp and baitfish were popping as well as birds. they started taking the tails off of anything we threw, cocahoes, gulp, even vudoos! I managed to snag a few after putting on a treble trailer hook i caught a spec. I switched to a purple chart vudoo, tail gone. white red, tail gone after 2 casts. i couldn't believe it. put on a natural (solid color) and reel as fast as i could and caught a few more whities. Decided that i already went through about $10 worth of lures on the little bastards and hauled a$$.
Could possibly be what tore you up.
