I don't know what you are using for bait
but are you using Mustad 94150 hooks?
reason I ask is if you use a hook like that with a big barb, maybe they will stay on longer.
also you could try using just enough braid for your cast, and more mono for backing so the long runs the fish make have to go against the mono which has more stretch.

wish I could hook fish like that

I hope you have better luck landing them

	The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely. 1984 was a warning, not a guidebook! It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
