Default a recurring theme

Went fishing today again and started throwing senkos. I throw a junebug senkos and get one dink that rips my last one up... switch over to red shad. Bam, set the hook, feels like a 2-3#, comes off. Couple minutes later, another one, good solid hookset... comes throws the hook. Then a bit later, got another one, jumps right out of the water, a solid 3# throws the hook. Man, I can't seem to catch anything on senkos any color other than junebug, happens all the time, even with good hooksets and 5/0 hooks. :P

good to see the computer is back working. anyways, that would have aggravated me to death. the other day i was fishin and was using a jig and i guess the hook wasnt sharp, but on every cast out it would take it, i set the normal hook set, he/she fought for a few seconds, then threw it :P this happened 4 times till on the 5th try as soon as felt the fish, i set the hook like never before and got it, it was 2-3lbs. but that was aggravating ;D anyways, this might sound crazy, but try down sizing your hook and see what happens, might be just what you need

Are you using an extrawide gap hook?

What brand hook were you using? I use Gamakatsu. Take the hook point and run it across your thumbnail to make sure it's sharp. Other than that I don't know what to tell you.
