A friend owns a fly shop here in the Denver area and one day about 25 years ago (before my friend had done much warm water fishing) a grizzled old fella in overalls with a southern drawl wandered in and asked if they had any 25 lb. test monofilament. Being accustomed to talking about 6X, 7X, or 8X leaders for finnicky trout in ultraclear water, my friend asked this southern transplant what in the world he wanted 25 lb. test mono for. His response was "Bass fishin'". My buddy asked, "With 25 lb. line, do you get much fight out of 'em?"
The old basser replied, "You can play with 'em after ya get 'em in the boat."
