Thanka for the link Dr.Fwd. I used #18. And Lake Powell is a blast if you've never been. Is the water level still dropping a bunch every year?

Trigger, I was using whatever the monofiliment came with my rod, and the only bite I got clean snapped mt line off before I even had a chance to pull and try to hook. After that I assimed that the mono was weak garbage and got something else. Turns out mono is a lot easier to work with though.

Wouldn't a 4-5 lb fish pretty easily break 4lb test mono? That stuff seems pretty weak.
