[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 485531, member: 605"] Yep, when we feel a strike, we set the hook on a walleye to sink it into boney flesh. Saltwater fishing in Florida, fisherman do not set the hook, instead start reeling. Grouper etc. will swim to a rock or whatever so the fisherman has to reel very fast. My first instinct is to set the hook pulling it away from the fish or when I did catch one to reel slow and feel the action resulting in getting tangled up in everyone else. Same with Roosterfish. You can see their fin rising to hit the plug. With my finger on the line can feel the hit and immediately yank. Nothing. [/QUOTE]
