Is it me?

This past weekend I went fishing with my uncles new JON boat.... IT WAS AWESOME. I took it out to the flats and started to fish. I took some advice from this forum and used wacky rigged senkos. I casted out... then after about 10 seconds I twiched it... and BOOM a bite! As I reeled it in... the fish spat it out. Then, about 10 minutes later I casted into this submerged tree... I waited again another 5-10 seconds, twitched it and it felt as if it were snagged on a rock or branch.... then my pole began to move, I was so excited... a big BASS on a LURE!!!! As I reeled him in... it jumped, with its beautiful green and white colors, and spat out the hook! DARN!!!! That was yesterday.... today I went out again with my uncles boat and no luck for a while... then I moved to where I had ALMOST got those two other fish... and BAM I felt a bite... but I was not sure if he was on. I reeled him in and about 2 feet away from teh boat he jumped and spit out the hook!

I think my excitement overcame my "setting the hook" part... so thats what I think it was.

Anyway... what hooks should I be using?


by the way... I have never caught a fish with a LURE!!!

Thanks....
