Setting the hook... Into nothing.

If the bass are biting light I will set the hook anytime I feel something.

It's just part of the game.

I always wonder how many baits i've ripped out of a bass' face

The question is "how many personal best hawgs had your lure & ya didn't set hook?"

i was on a pond this friday cranking a lipless... thought i got a hit set the hook and started bringin her in... worst part of the story some people on a jon boat were cheering me while i was catching a big ass branch lol

My biggest problems are small panfish and gar. I have snagged two small sunfish this year so far when they smacked my crankbaits. River gar sorta' just tap but are catchable with sharp hooks and fast reflexes.

Those critters psych me out so often... It's very frustrating.

If you keep in touch with what's going on underwater you get premonition hook sets, you just know a bass has the lure.
