Is a #10 too big???? I JUST walked in the house, and the same thing happened today.... I had hits out the Wazoo, but only landed three bream... I did lose about a three pound bass... I threw into a tree that had fallen into the water and has been there a cpl yrs, and it holds a lot of fish... and ya lose most of them unless you vertical fish righ tover it.. I had a "Yellow Jacket" fly on, and soon as it hit the water BAM!!!!! then straight to the tree top he went, wrapped the leader around a limb, and all My wife and I could do is watch him till the line broke.... Oh well,win some, ya lose some.. Chuck
