ouch. sucks to hear your loss. but i must ask how you snapped the line. was it a stale-mate battle that broke it? were you cranking in lots of line? was he still peeling drag?

maybe a tip for next time: loosen the drag. yeah the halibut will run through the kelp like tarzan swings through a jungle.. but the spectra will cut through it. dont freak out and button down on the drag unless you can see the bottom of your spool.
