VMC 4x 3/0 breakage?

[Rob Rockcrawler]

I caught a few fish on a northbar last weekend after the fling, nothing big. It was the first time i used it and rigged it myself with 4x 3/0 trebles. And when i went to snap it on this morning i noticed that one of the hooks broke off right at the shank. Apparently it happened last weekend. Has anyone else had this happen? I didnt hang up on the bottom, but did miss a few fish. I cant believe the fish broke the hook. I wish it was just bent then i would have a good souvenir and a story to go along with it.
