I lost a fish that I would have guessed to be about 30#s the other night and another that felt about 20. Both on plugs. With plugs I think all you can do is pray. I let the first fish take some drag and she hung me up in the rocks. I didn't give the second fish anything and I pulled hooks. I exclusively use braid. I'm going to give mono a shot at one spot I fish to see if it helps change my results. I'm thinking I can fish with a tighter drag and worry less about pulling or straightening the hooks.
With an eel and and a j or circle hook I would just put the screws to them. Usually works for me as long as I get a good hook set.
