Yes it pains me and also adds to my knowledge. The first really large I dropped left me with mangled hooks. I have gone to 3x and 4x hooks ever since. The last "nice" fish I lost, ran my line over some rocks before I could turn her head. I now fish that rip from a different rock that gives me a better shot at turning a fish before the rocks get really bad. The fish in my sig pic was taken from the new rock only 45 minutes after the breakoff.
