The motor was probably stuck which would cause it to draw a lot of current trying to get started. Maybe somethink like a piece of rust or debris got caught in the impeller. Maybe it is a sign of a failing motor. Your bypassing the fuse allowed it to break free and start running again...will it continue to run like this and not get stuck again? Maybe.

If it was me I would continue to drive like nothing happened...if it happens again you'll know what to do and will probably have to bite the bullet and replace it then.
