Oh no, sorry, Lost the fish but not the hook. Had the bigger fish on for a while and then bang, dropped him, reeled up and had all my gear, just no fish. Line didn't break or anything.

Sounds like you may have the drag set too tight, and just ripping the hook out of the fishes' mouths . If you're not near any obstructions, let 'em run a little to wear themselves out.
