Disappointed by Yo-Zuri - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I ran out of 30lb Seaguar fluor, which I normally use for leader. So instead of stopping to pick some up on the way to the bay fishing, I decided to save some money and use some 30lb Yo-Zuri that I had laying around. Fishing was good this evening. I caught and released 3 nice halibut ranging from about 25 to 30 inches. The I hooked into one that I knew right away when I was pulling it up from the bottom what kind it was and about how large it was. I knew this was going to Beat my personal best. When I got it up where I could see it, it was a huge Halibut that looked like it trumped my personal best of 34 inches by a foot. After getting up and it running back to the bottom three time I tightened the drag. Not 5 seconds later, POP! There goes my leader. Man< I was so disappointed. my heart just dropped. Then right away I Tied another leader on with my hands shaken. I circled around that same area Knowing good and well that I wasn't going to hook up like that again in the same evening. then I just called it a day. Another lesson learned.

The bite is wide open in the bay again. now's the time.
