We often talk about the ones we catch.What about the ones we don't?

Several weeks ago I lost a very nce one right at my feet.Well it happened again to me last night.Not just once but twice.I hadn't been out in or caught in awhile so it hurts even more.

I hooked into a pretty decent fish(15-20#)around 10pm or so.He hit pretty close in and started just running.I got some line on it and got it in near me and then another run and off it came.

About 20mins later I get another fish around the same size in close again and one good run and off this one came

Fished another 1.5hrs and nada.

My drag was good.My line was certainly good as I still had my plug.I was patient and didn't try to hurry things.Sometimes I think it all comes down to luck(or lack of it).

So what about you guys?
