20 lb mono is not overpowering... in my opinion if you play a fish to long you exhaust it and great decrease its chances of survival upon release. Every line-break also leaves a hook in the mouth of a fish and decreases its chance of survival. 8lb test is for fresh water. I agree that playing a fish on light tackle is tons of fun, but....
All that being said, I know that Capt. Mike Neto who's out of RI loves to land trophy bass on light tackle (6-8lb test). Watching it done is nuts.
