CAN ANYONE HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT WENT WRONG,
I WAS FISHING FROM THE BEACH AT MY HOUSE AND HOOKED INTO A STRIPER AROUND 30LBS MAYBE LESS, IT THRASHED AROUND EVERYWHERE AND THEN IT WAS OFF, I CHECKED, ALL THE HOOKS WERE PERFECTLY SHARP,
DOES ANYTHING SOUND WRONG, I AM GOING TO TRY AGAIN IN A DAY OR TWO SO ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
THANKS AND DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU

He just shook the hook loose. Try a circle hook, they seem to stay in better on stripers. Straight shank hooks seem to come loose even though you set the hook. Happens to me when useing sluggos, now I just use a circle hook on the nose.

I've started to take a file to the points before I use them. You do lose fish on topwater plugs, haven't lost many while trolling as it sets the hook pretty well.
