In my last trip I had on what I think was a YFT and after the first run that I eventually stopped with increasing the drag (probably close to 20lbs), it got unhooked (I was fishing with a Rapala).

I left the drag pretty high even afterward and a few fish didn't hook on the strike.

Do high drag settings translate in more unhooked fish? Especially YFT and especially during the fight?

Thanks.
