Bill,
Need some more help and your expertise.
How do you prepare to successfully catch without losing these kinds of fish? Do you discard some line / leader often ? How much drag do you set and do you alter the drag during the engagement ? How often do you recheck your gear? etc., etc. I lost a nice fish last night and I need some pointers on preparedness. 20 # back country line snapped ahead of the shock leader when I tightened up on the drag in an attempt to try to turn a fish that would have most likely spooled me..
