The biggest tog I ever caught was about 7 pounds. The other day I was on a pp party boat. I use 65 lb braid, 50 lb shock and 60lb Seaguar leader on my Bogan rod. I had a small piece of white legger for bait. Felt a little something lifted up and there was a monster on there. Lasted all of about 7 seconds and bam bam bam gone. Reeled up and the fish had bitten off the leader. I think if a big fish gets the hooks behind his teeth this can easily happen. I here constant reports of big fish "shearing" off so I was thinking of using steel leader like for bluefish. Anyone use this?
