We've all experienced this. You hook into a nice fish, whatever it may be, and it jumps, shakes it head, and spits the hook.
Lately its been happening quite a bit more for this guy. I understand that its bound to occur from time to time, but is there anything I can do to mitigate this? I'm talking largemouth, smallmouth, AND muskies here. The muskie thing is perhaps a little different as they are much larger fish and have an iron jaw, but the concept and strategy should be similar.
I understand that lowering the rod tip to keep them down can help, but quite often the fish jumps almost immediately after being hooked, they shake the hook, and its already over.
Open to suggestions here.
