Fishing is among the more popular pastimes around the globe, whether as a business or for recreation. Landing a big catch can create lasting memories. If you love to fish, you know how exciting it is to have a catch on the line. However, you’re also aware of how easy and disappointing it can be to lose your catch. Here are some practical ways you can avoid losing your fish.  Harnessing Your Hook Some fishing lines may break or hooks may slop off the line. Learning to get the most out of your hook will help keep your fish on the line. Sharpen Your Hooks Often Although most fish hooks come ready to use, they may become dull with normal wear and tear. Hooks may lose sharpness if you use the same one regularly. If the lip is not sharp enough, the fish can slip off easily. You may need to keep a few extras on hand or have a hook sharpener on hand to keep them in shape.

Set Your Hooks Right

Your fish will catch when its mouth stays secure on the hook. Get and set the best hooks possible to help boost your catching ratios. Most hooks will bend over time. Shop around for high-quality hooks that can handle the pressure. A sturdy hookset will help keep the fish on the line long enough to haul them in. When you feel the tug from the fish, set the hook by reeling in the slack.  Use a fast, firm lift on the tip of the rod. All it requires is a flick of the wrist and elbow. Never lift the rod above your head. Hook at the right time Setting the hook too early or too late will affect your catch. If it is set too early, it may cause the bait to dislodge from the mouth of the fish. Likewise, setting the hook to hard may cause the hook to tear and release the fish. If it’s set too light, it may not fasten well in the fish’s mouth, and the fish may fall off.

Try Different Fishing Lines

Many traditional fishing lines may not always hold up well, especially when tackling the bigger fishes. Some regular lines may break under the weight of larger fish. It’s a good idea to try some of the more high-quality; reinforced lines that can help minimize losing your fish. Try Switching Rods It’s disheartening to see your dream catch on the line, only to watch the rod snap and release it. Choose rods that can give you some extra flexibility to ease the tension when you release the pressure. Adjust Your Drag Settings Tugging hard on the drag can result in fish falling away while still in the water. Tweaking your drag settings will help loosen the drag when you need it most. Avoid cranking the reel when hauling the fish. Always set up your drag before you snare a fish. Hold the tip of the rod upward, at an almost vertical position, but never over your head.

Practice Your Knot Skills

Knot tying is a valuable skill that also helps keep your fish secure. If you tie your knots too quickly, you may end up losing your fish. At every opportunity, practice tying the more popular line to hook knots to avoid disappointment. Know Your Rigs When fishing, it’s ideal to have a variety of tackle selections on hand. Choose light gauge hooks for smaller types of fish and more massive platforms for bigger fishes. A reliable rig will result in a strong hook.  Maintain Good Line Tension Reeling in your fish is one of the biggest challenges some anglers face, especially if it’s a big catch. Proper reeling techniques can help you keep your fish at this critical stage. Your first reminder is to avoid reeling in the fish; it is swimming away from you. Position The Rod Correctly Try holding the rod close to a 5-degrees angle in line with the water. Point the rod directly in line with the fish and be alert to the drag activity when you hook the fish. Wait until the fish stop fighting and tugging on the line before you start reeling. Reel in the slack only if the fish is no longer running. Adjust your reel depending on the size of the fish.  Bigger fish tend to weigh down the rod significantly when they hook onto the line. While lifting the rod, avoid reeling the fish in. When you start to reel, bring the rod down closer to 45-degrees and while maintaining consistent tension on the fish.
