I was dropping my Road Runner to about 10-12 feet and then with the bail open while I was kicking back until I got about 25 yards out then I closed the bail and started a slow retrieve right out in open water -- and all of a sudden zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I actually remember some old guy talking about sharpening ones hooks before hitting the water (and this was the first time I got to try out my new hook sharpener).....And I think getting a solid, deep hook set made all the difference from all of the others that got away. (Using 8lb P-line helped me a little bit also.)
