I had the fish of a lifetime on off of MV this june. We were wire line jigging in 45ft of water. I had about half the spool of 50# wire on a 114hsp out when the fish hit and it took me to the backing twice before I dropped it. Im sure a lot of you have coght decent sized fish on wire and very rarely does a fish even take more than 5 yard runs with that stuff. This fish probably had about 100yds of wire behind him and still was peeling it off no problem. I was shaking for a long time after that to say the least.
