TheGrovBone, if you decide to stick with the 65 braid, please put a 50 foot top shot of 50 pound mono over it, no gator is gonna roll up 50 feet of mono. also for the leader if you use 100 pound test dacron braid, and use a snell knot or egg loop to attach your hook to the leader you will not only be fish friendly, but I think you also have a stronger knot, and the egg loop give you options for attaching your bait.
If you are going to stick with braid, please up it to 200 pound test, so you have the diameter to not cut up the fish. An added advantage is you never lose all your gear when you snag, you usually just pull the hook straight or reel in the log/rock/car you snagged up on.
