I also landed a 19 lb snapper in Robert G. Martin Lake on 2 lb test. If you want maximum fresh water fishing action, 2 lb test fluorocarbon is the way to go. You will catch more fish than everybody else on most of your trips.

I'm not opposed to going light, whenever possible. And often enough, I find it can and will generate more action.
The only negative thought I have about this is I think you can fight a fish to exhaustion and building up too much lactic acid. Even when they swim away (assuming its released), they might not make it later on.
Note - this is not a criticism of you by any means. Its just my general comments.
