Gonce Fishing 6-13


In this weeks edition of Gone Fishing we get a helpful tip on making sure that your catch stays on the line Hi and welcome to Gone Fishing I m Greg Schoneck You know I ve been family fishing with the kids recently It doesn t seem to matter how I explain it getting them to set the hook has been a problem Well today on gone fishing we re going to talk a little bit about setting the hook and why it s so important In a Walleye s mouth there is all of this boney cartilage It is tough to get a hook buried into that When I talk about set the hook what I mean is a snap of your rod a lift of your arm frantic reeling until you get that hook buried in there and you feel a pressure then you relax On top of all this you ve got the monofilament working against you It s very stretchy much like a rubber band You need to stretch that monofilament out and bury the hook into the walleye s mouth Well let s put this walleye into the live well and hopefully we can get another one and I ll show you how it s done Once you got that hook set them it s time to slow down Nice and easy once the hook is set Before the hook is set you just drive it home but it s nice and easy after that Nice and easy brings more fish into the boat once the hook is in there Ah nice Sakakawea walleye He s not quite ready to come into the boat Remember of them hook sets hard frantic reeling after that slow and easy Until next time I m Greg Schoneck and I m Gone Fishing
