only had 30# Fireline break, ONCE!!
it was at DI two years ago, 30 mins into first light,
with my 704Z, 6' of direct tied mono BGame 50#,
working an AH Herring Spook and SMASH!!!
a 30#'er launched herself at Don's plug and swam straight for me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
she buried my line in sum rocks and then hunkered down behind a boulder within 20 yds of my feet and began to wrap herself in the leader,,,,,,,,,,,after a guy in a kayak freed the braid from the rocks~~i didn't want to kill the fish over a plug, and that was before i knew to "free-spool" in those kinds of situations. so the yakker proceeds to try to unwrap her from above her and after one, two, the third unwrappage~~~
SNAPP! yep, sometimes the big gurls win,,,,,,,,,,,,,
that Fireline was only a month old. the yakmahn said she was over 48"!!!
i'll be seeing her soon i HOPE, in ALL the old familiar places.
