[size 4]Hey, sometimes everything is just where you need it to be and you just loose some. Its all part of the game. I notice when I loose fish, its a dull hook or a short strike, or sometimes they just miss the hooks all together. I remember one day fishing grubs in the spring, lots of hits but no hookups, I moved to a long shank hook and that fixed the problem. Turns out the fish were just a bit sluggish and were missing the hook by a mere 1/4 inch. [/size]
