IMO, if you have your drag cranked down, sharp hooks and using some type of braid, there is no reason to go King Kong on the hookset. One set is all it will take as soon as you FEEL the fish. There is a huge difference between setting too hard and the fish simply mis-hitting your bait.

If the truth be known, a "committed fish" sets the hook for you most of the time provided the drag is cranked and hooks are VERY sharp........that little "grunt" and tiny "boat rock" should do the trick UNLESS you are using big rubber, then it is ok to give her whiplash.

You will get many differing opinions on this one.
