I'm going to suggest using a lighter # test leader than your braid. You are going to get hung up jigging, and sometimes you have to break it off. You want it to break at the leader rather than breaking somewhere along that 30$ spool of braid. I use 50# braid and a 40Lb mono leader, and I've never had the leader break while fighting a fish.
Also, I don;t know anythng about the fenwick rod you were using, but if you got the fish stopped and could not haul it back, I think you gotta look at the rod too. It takes a lot of rod to bring a large fish back against the current.
