D will have to use his culinary skills to cook you up some crow next week, lil man. You know not of what you speak.

I caught a white trout last weekend..........didn't actually hook it, the lure got sidways in it's mouth and got stuck...............yes it was a little guy, kinda tore him up getting it out, but I'm sure he survived............sometimes you don't need to set it, as the WISE Capt. John L Taylor would say............Reel till you Feel.....then set it.......Tim

It all depends.....sometimes you dont have to cause they're slamin it, other times they just pick it up & you have to set hard. Was fishin Prien in Jan with sand eel & had a thousand lite & I mean lite taps, caught a couple till I figured it out. When you felt the lite tap you had to drop rod tip then just ease back in a slow sweaping motion till your rod loaded up. If you set the hook you missed every time. Once I figured it out I limited out in 30 mins & caught & released another limit. & yall know as well as I do that its natural reaction to set quick. It took patience!

i like it!
