I've lost several fish on big runs this year. The kind of run where you wonder if the fish will stop long enough to get some line back. I haven't had my 50 pound braid or my 30 pound floro leader fail yet. But on 3 occasions the hook has just pulled after fighting the fish for several minutes. Very frustrating. I too, need to check my drag more often. mY probelm is I tend to cinch it down every now and then to get more leverage around the boat on smaller fish that are heading for the prop.
