I have been fishing for quite a few years now and have learned some tricks
to fighting fish. Such as when to apply more pressure and when not.
However when I lose a nice fish, I always ask myself, what could I have done
different to keep that fish on. I usually fish with a 3 weight rod for
trout that can reach up to 6 lbs or bigger. However I also do some
steelhead, pike and salmon fishing with a 9 weight when I get the chance.
The pike get up to and sometimes over 20 lbs and the steelhead and salmon
are the same.
When you submerge the line in the water, what do you consider a strong
tippet? I have lost fish before because they go deep, get lots of line
under the water and then run off somewhere, only to break the tip. I have
learned to keep the fish shallow if possible but how strong of tippet are we
talking about?
