seems that people who never landed a big fish lose them while people who have landed big fish rarely lose them

I don't care how long you have been at this game and how good you think you are, you are still going to drop a few big fish each year. I do. Hooked wrong, over confident knick in the braid you didn't notice, snap came open.
Anyone who doesn't acknowledge stuff like that happening when you fish five out of 7 nights a week in season is full of poo. IMHO.

Why even try.........

I think you hit the nail on the head. I haven't lost many real big ones because I don't fish enough to come across a lot of the 45 plus # fish. But there was one last year that if it had got off, I would have sworn I had a 50 + on. I fought the thing for literally 20 minutes taking it easy to tire her out because I was sure it was my new PB. Finally as I'm getting line in and getting her close to the boat, I see it was just foul hooked. I couldn't believe it took me 20 minutes to brign a 22lb fish to the boat.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
