Breaking Fish Free of the Kelp/Braid Choices

Went out of LJ with a buddy on Saturday. Had the chance to tangle with what I am pretty sure was another nice YT. Just like my first fish from a month ago, the fish went right into the kelp and I spent around 30 minutes, I'd think, trying to break the fish free, and I simply couldn't, and then my leader broke. (better the line than my rod, tho!)

Both fish hit the rig I have spooled with Izor spectra. I really love this line. It's unbelievably smooth and supple. Casts like a dream, and I don't think I've had a single wind knot with this line. If I had dedicated tuna reels, I don't think I'd have any issues putting this line on all of those reels!

However....... the trade off is that it's clearly not as rough and abrasive as Power Pro.

Are you guys really sawing through the kelp with Power Pro? How long do you usually tangle with a good fish that's stuck in the kelp before the line cuts through the grass and pops your fish free?

Gotta correct this issue pronto and find a way to bring my next into the boat!!!
