The size of the fish isn't as important as the pull on the line. Fishing line is usually rated at half to one quarter of its actual breaking point. So 15 pound test may break when 30 to 60 pounds of pull ocurrs. But slow pressure will not break it as easily as a sharp jerk will.

Most fishing line is much stronger than common household string. Fishing line comes in many different sizes or "pound test" ratings, ranging from less than 1lb test to well over 100lb test. This rating indicates at what pound of pressure fishing line will break at. So, if you have 17lb test line then it should break around 17lbs of pulling pressure. Keep in mind that the test ratings are sometimes not 100% accurate and lines can break slightly below, right at, or even a bit more than the indicated rating on the package.

How long does it take to reel in a largemouth bass?
The largemouth is a tremendous fighter, with hard runs and leaps. But it depends on many factors. One, how cold is the water? In colder water, bass, being cold blooded like all fish, tend to be more sluggish than in warmer water. Two, the size of the fish. Big bass pull harder than smaller ones normally. Three, the reel and rod and line strength. Baitcasting reels have more reeling power than spinning reels, and the line test in pounds also determines the time involved. With eight pound test, for instance, have the drag looser to allow the fish to tire itself out. Heavier line will usually make it tougher for the fish to break the line and escape. Use the right equiptment, and most fish can be boated after a minute or two.

Flaubert is an experienced fisherman wondering if stronger fishing line help him catch larger the fish?
Generally the line rating (pounds test) is only part of the factor in landing fish. Generally speaking the following factors come into play when trying to land a fish: - The rod length and strength; A longer rod absorbs more of the energy from the fishes weight and the power of the runs a fish makes. The strength of a rod refers to the stiffness of the rod and its ability to handle fish. - Reel; the reel component is used to reel in the fish and has to be appropriate for the size of the fish you are targeting. It has to be able to have physical power to reel in line with the fore being exerted. The drag component release line to prevent line snapping due to pressure brought on by the fish. -The line is you link to the fish and has to be able to handle the force of the fishes exertion (not just it weight). One thing to remember is that the knots used to tie on hook and terminal tackle can lessen the effective rating of the line. The fishing rod, reel and line are an integrated system and given how the rod bends and reel can give line as required the line is only required to handle a fraction of the weight of the fish; So you don;t always need an stronger fishing line. Part of fishing is knowing how to play the fish. When the fish has lots of energy you need to let it run and get tired so you let it take line by setting the drag suitable. You hold your rod at a high angle to allow the rod to take the brunt of the strong pulls and head shakes. Once the fish tires you can begin taking in line by using the cranking power of the reel, the absorption power and strength of the rod and the strength of the line. On a boat you can gain ground on a fish by steering and driving the boat toward the fish as it runs. This allows you to gain line without the fish using it's weight and power against your equipment. Many large fish are caught on light line. In my personal experience I have caught 8 pound fish on 4 pound line.
