I like Jim's thoughts .. I think the larger fish nose themselves against the boulders so you don't have a 50# fish, you have a 2 ton boulder. The "hooked on the bottom feeling" ..but you know your not .. No Way your lifting that fish with the rock don't matter how big you are .. broke off a few dream fish trying . I like your approach Jim .. Your smarter than the fish .. not quite there yet . 65# braid 40# leader here.. 1209
also Ditch Jigger different angle thing, can change angle of the hook in the rocks, springing the fish .
