RE:20lb???
20lb is light for some applications. Line test and type all depend on the technique being used at the time. I have anything from 5lb to 65lb in mono, flouro, and braid tied on my reels.
When you think you know it all, its time to quit. Knowledge should be gained on every trip.
RE:20lb???
Try using 6- or 8lb line when flipping in heavy vegetation with lots of wood. It's not about the fish size it's about the environment that bass live. In open water, I may use 6-10lb line, but in shallow combat bass conditions, it's usually 17-20lb except for my flipping stick which is 80# braid.

BTW, you are so lucky to live in Anacortes. There is alot of great bass water nearby. I envy you.
