Was it a brand new clip or had you used the same one through various outings?

Was it a real breakaway? I've heard there are some not so good knock-offs out there. Sorry for your loss.  |

I'd guess either a bad batch of steel. No way an 80lber should bend like that.

It looks like the plug or lure ran up on the clip or the fish did a good number on it by twisting it. The only other I saw twisted like that one was used backwards. Bummer..  |
