Why did the steelhead come unhooked? It seems when I loose a steelhead it will be many in a row. Then I will have a streak where I will land many in a row. When I am on a loosing streak I think what am I doing wrong? Is the hook too big, too small am I setting the hook too soon. Should I give him some slack line? Is my hook too dull? Once the fish is on for 10 seconds or so and it has made the initial jump, I have a very good chance of landing it. I would say that initial jump is the critical time. Maybe the hook has not penetrated the bony jaw. Any theories. Jerry
