Losing too many kokes this year!

I fished at FG the past two weekends and missed a lot as well. A couple of guys at the fish cleaning station mentioned that they had the same problem. Although we had one day where the fish seemed to be hitting much more aggressive and deeper on the lures, resulting on a much better landing rate. But the very next day it was the complete opposite. I think we missed the first 5 or 6 hits we had that day. We started being VERY careful when reeling the fish in. If they were fighting at all we would not reel. As soon as they stopped, we would carefully begin reeling again. It took a lot longer to land them this way, and we still lost a couple but this helped a lot. I also have a new, longer extension net this year that has really reduced the number of fish we’ve lost at the boat. I guess it’s comforting to know I’m not the only one having issues landing kokes this year!
