Keep on casting BW. You'll get another bunch that are even bigger.

Probably the hardest thing to remember is not to horse the bigger fish too much. Move them in but tire them out. I know we all know that but I never stop reminding myself when I have a big one on. I have lost a few slobs right at my feet. Eben is right. There ain't much stretch on the line when they are in close. Ten years ago I had a 30#er in May that broke off in the wash when I mistakenly pointed the rod at it while the wash was pulling it out. Fortunately the next wave kept it on the beach and I slam tackled it (with a bomber hanging out of it's mouth !).

HAD to get that fish
