Sh!te happens...
All you can do is pay attention,make adjustments,Make sure your gear is up to the task and pray.For me it is easier to land good fish from a jetty than from the beach.You don't have that strong undertow to deal with on the jetty's. I see so many try to horse good fish through the waves instead of using the water to their advantage.I also have noticed folks don't let the fish do their thing.You have to know when to hold em and know when to let em run.I seem to get in a trance when I get a good one on.Reveling in the moment..I like to enjoy the ride..
Then there are times there are not too many options.Where the fish wins.I always tip my hat to em knowing they may have won this battle while my skills put in the position to have the opportunity.My friend was hunting the other day said to me he had the bow drawn back for ten minutes on a huge buck.He never got the chance for the shot.Was he disappointed well somewhat but he did his homework and He got to at least come this close to the trophy of a lifetime..Thats all you can really ask for,a chance.
You can't push the issue.It's senseless really.
Good Karma helps..
Go help a old lady across the road.

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
