Bobber fishing tidewater of the Wilson for Fall Chinook. Hooked a monster that tried to get into the brush. Pulled the boat with two thirty pound anchors out about twenty feet then straightened the hook (9' LCI 30/30 Special rod, 5/0 hook with 40lb Maxima UC).

Hook brand didn't matter. Something had to give and I was not going to let the fish get into that brush pile if I could stop it. I couldn't.
