I know you are right. It was heartbreaking up until I started landing fish. Even with the lost fish it was the best weekend fishing i have ever had.

I just realized that if I include your two mystery fish you hooked more fish in one day than I've hooked in the last month

Sounds kind of sweet and sour.
Two weeks ago I had a serious snag and could not free it. I even tied the line to a Cleat on the yak and got a running start and when the line got taught, it almost tipped me over. That was 50# spectra with a 30# leader. I eventually had to cut my line.
Just makes me wonder if what happened to you might be caused by a bad knot. What knot do use?

I had an Albright 40# flouro to 65# spectra with a palomar at the hook on one and 50# spectra to a 3 way swivel with a palomar on the other. I'm pretty sure barnicals on the kelp cut it or the fish ran into the rocks in the break wall.

Those are good knots. A guy from squidco once tied an Albright for me and said to make sure to make 30 wraps. I had been using 10 and had them slip.
I use a GT knot from line to leader.
