Good story Rad. Just more evidence what a gnarly fish pacu are. The last 3 times we hooked 1, we couldn't land him. Once the 8# test line broke, and twice it was bitten off just above the hook. We hated to start using heavy line for small bream fishing, but now use 10# line.
Hey Guys, try GSP (gelspun) line such as PowerPro 20# test/6# equal diameter -or- Berkley Fireline Crystal 14# test/6# diameter my choice)
