Went out to try for Halibut after hearing reports of good fishing. Trolled frozen herring, caught 2 at incoming tide and 1 late afternoon. Fish were 24-26”. Buddy broke his 25# braid on something large, he fought it for a few minutes but we never saw what it was. He is respooling with larger line since there is a possibility of large fish in the bay. Overall good day and nice weather.

So how hard would you have to pull on a , say 6 foot rod to break 25LB test? 100lbs? Both thumbs locked down on the spool?

He had the drag pretty tight, he said he didn’t know how old the braid was. I assume weak point in the line somewhere. He respolled and hooked a large bat ray yesterday and brought in with no issues.
