Too Much Pressure????

[JeffH]

I have read that a fish can apply no more than 1/2 their body weight in force on the end of the line without a strong current to assist them. If you want to try something fun place a 15 lb weight on the end of your line a try to lift it off the floor you will be amazed at how much effort it will take......I haven't felt a 30 lb fish pull that hard....................
