thanks for the report. some days i wish i could have a nice drag peeler. i would want to say maybe its a thresher or a mako that snapped you off.
as for the pipe break off with major rake marks, i've had plenty of ling cod that would short bite me. i opted to use a trap rig for the lings if i'm using a bait bigger than 6". i've never fished DP before but from the sounds of the reports, i really want to give it a shot
