Don't forget to re-tie after so many fish. If you catch a good size fish and it puts up a pretty good fight then re-tie afterwards. A lot of people think the line it too small to catch a good size fish but it is usually line fatigue that is the cause of losing a good size fish, so re-tie often. After I catch a good size fish that puts up a good fight I will cut off at least a couple of feet of line. If I am fishing a brush pile I will check the line frequently to make sure there isn't any knicks in the line. We tend to forget to check when the fish are really biting and the acting is fast and furious, but that is when you will lose a big fish. EB
