I suspect it was a surprise and unexpected strike.

Nice catch man

Very nice. I commend you.  I use 4 lb test a lot.  People think Im crazy. Its all in the drag. Im guessing it was hooked on the outer edge of the mouth? Curious what kind of jig and what brand line. Thanks.

Yes all in the drag. It was hooked deep in the throat. After i pulled it through a 6" hole and got the spoon out, I ran my fingers across the line and it was really rough. I was using Berkley Ice mono with no leader. Finesse was the only way to bring that bad mamajama in lol.
