The only time I broke off was fishing the Invitational two years ago (when Mitch won) that was a direct result of fishing a two hook rig. The problem was the fish bit the bottom worm then ran around a piling and when I was bringing the fish back around the piling the top hook snagged the piling and gave the fish enough leverage to break off. The fish did jump right before (with witnesses!) and was about 5 1/2 lbs which would have jumped me from 6th to...1st x(

Oh well, my luck was better in the 2003 Invite! :D
