Learned my lesson hook tieing %$#@%%$$

[jbapinoy]

I lost my first keeper on my favorite spot Memorial day because of the knot I used on my hook. I tried the uni knot on Gamakatsu octopus on a clam bait thinking it will hold straight dah...when I reel in the fish about 15ft from where I standin with tight lines I keep loosing the fish twice. I realized that the knot was not that tight and it keep swaying. So I replaced my knot with a snell knot it works great had a nice fight but never lost the fish. I'll never experiment on any knot on my hook again...
