Champ188 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I'll text him and tell him you said that,lol it would sound like bs to someone who doesn't understand it I took your initial comment as skepticism, too. Obviously it wasn't. I will sometimes bend my hooks slightly open or closed. As for how tightly a fish has its mouth closed --- no, I do not understand that.

Hazbin Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 ??? Look how healthy thought provocation can be and all the energy it creates. I can see where everything on has worked or at least in our own mind they did!!

As for how tightly a fish has its mouth closed --- no, I do not understand that. he(Russ) has some pretty wild ideas for sure when I fished T's fishing for bass on beds i could see, aka sight fishing, was sometimes a must do in order to get a check many times if I'd set the hook on a bedding fish immediately after the strike , they would rocket into the air and spit the bait because they are hooked in the lips,and lost fish wont get you a trophy at the end of the day once I figured this out when a fish would grab the bait off the bed I would never set the hook right away I would always wait until the fish either moved with the bait in it's mouth, or made a second "chomp" down on the lure, making sure his mouth (tongue) was on the bait. It sounds weird , but it worked well for me. a vast majority of those fish would be hooked IN the tongue or deep in the roof of the mouth and could not spit it out if they jumped Champ188 1

I do the same thing when sight fishing. Of course, it helps that your reflexes start slowing down when you hit 50.
