I'm a little like you BigFish---fish mono whenever I can. I use braid when jig fishing. Braid also helps if I know I'm going to be fishing with a stiff crosswind. 30Ib mono and a lot of wind from my side causes a huge belly. I hate braid, but use it when it calls to be used.
lost a big fish a few years back---in the upper 40s. lost it at my feet as I was landing it. Rough night. fish got sucked back in the wash and that was that. Rocky shore, pogie chunk.
