JohnS, I was using spinning gear and I have had bass landed with a hole the size of a 5 oz jig worn thru but the 31.5 pounder was hooked deep in his mouth. I had to reach my large paw in there and pop it out. Others were lip hooked and didn't notice an extraordinary hole in them that day. So to answer your question , I think the braid in combo with the tight drag and fast current can open up quite a hole in the fish depending on where it's hooked. So always maitain pressure and don't let them get a bit of slack.
