So what kind of knot is everyones favorite?

Mine is a kind of blood knot , I speed fish on the rivers during the salmon/steelhead runs and this knot is the quickest I can do .
Take and make a 6" loop , feed the center of the loop thru the eye of the hook and then wrap the shank about 4 or 5 times with the loop , draw it tight . now grab the hook with one hand and the two lines with the other and tie a single knot . cut off the extra line or tag end .
works great ! all the pulling is on the shank and not on the eye .
