Looks like class is in session. Some good information and not much I could add. I agree with the #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& on letting the fish run, except around some of the ledges I fish in the Cohasset area. If you let them run too long, you run the risk of the fish weaving your line through a maze of bolders.

On the question of the hook rotting out, I do have one thing to add, make sure you leave about 8-10 inches of line attached to the hook. There have been studies done on the subject, but I couldn't find my old link to the report, however it indicated that hooks left in without any line attached severely affected the fishes ability to continue to feee. The line apparently has a beneficial effect by keeping the hook shank off to the side or something to that affect.

Tight lines, hope some of you have a chance to practice all this soon.
