No way to tell, Eben. A lot depends on the way the bass is hooked and the angle of leverage it gets on the hooks. I've had teen fish bend a 4x strong Eagle Claw treble if they get it just right. Fortunately the second set of hooks held, so I was able to see just what size fish did the dirty deed. 1/0 hooks, braided line, stiff rod, wouldn't take much to bend them out if they had the hooks in a bad place.

I'd put more stock in the fact that it took ya for a ride. Teen fish don't do that
