I lost a good one a tournament a couple weeks ago. Would of gotten me first place too. 100% my mistake but i dont ever think about lost bass, i just tell my self i was a dink.
Anyways i was fishing a tournament and some guys that were also in the tournament were making me mad, evertime theyd catch a fish they would scream and make a lot of noise( wernt even keepers). I was swimming a magnum fluke when a biggin hit it. I did my monster hookset and knew he was pinned and not getting off. The guys were looking at me, they knew i had a good one. I tried to get back at them by letting the fish jump just so they could get a glimse of his size. Well he jumped alright, probably around 8lbs. He spit the hook mid air making me look like a fool. Big lesson learned
