[QUOTE="gonefshn, post: 175065, member: 380"] One thing that helps is replacing your back hook with these. But as the others have said. Some days you can do no wrong. Others nothing goes right. We troll 14' rods a lot. It's a tough call whether to reel that big fish in on top of the water or slow way down and keep it under. The really big ones (9+) will almost always require you to slow down. When trolling lead with long rods (or most for that matter) you need to keep in mind that the pull and fight of the fish is making that hole in the fishes mouth larger and larger as it comes in. If the fish has any chance to turn around and take off away from you it increases the chance of the hook popping out. With long rods the person reeling it in needs to get up in front of the boat right away. Also, make sure you have a net with a nice long extending handle.
