When I finally hook a large trout and fight it for a while I can never seem to land it. I am the master of the LDR. (Long Distance Release) The stream I fish is barbless and all it takes is a jump or a good shake of the head and they get off. I mostly am nymphing right now but still notice it when fishing dry. Usually nothing bigger than a #14 hook up to size #20. any suggestions? Thanks

p.s. i use a 5/6 weight rod if that makes any difference
