Yes, EdD, you're 100% correct, in your assumptions, (as always), on you loosing fish! Hearing of your "expertise" on fishing, by many here I'm more than sure, that ANY EXCUSE is enough to offset your fine cunning on the stream and your stealth, animalistic like approach to hunting fish.
Hijack pretty well nailed it, also, in his conveying the reasons many of the rest of us, loose fish also. Even tho', he was 13.345 degrees off, on his angle of the I-Pontronunus in relation to the squared force of the hook's point, (upon entry into the fish's mouth and surrounding tissue), he was still close enough to get it right!
