I have caught up to 40 lb. fish on 12 lb. mono.
This was while fishing at the Jetties with my daughter. Hooked that fish and pulled up the anchor to move away from other boats. It took a little over an hour and drifted over a mile. After 30 minutes I started putting more pressure on the fish. It was going to come in or I was going to snap the line. The 10 lb line held.
