| Hi guys- I'm an independant inventor doing some product research and I'm wondering if you might be able to answer a few stupid questions for me.
My questions for you....
1. When you've hooked a fish (Muskie or otherwise large fish), are there times you've lost it directly because you took your hands off of your reel momentarily?
- if so, how often has that happened?
2. If you do take your hands off while trying to land a fish, what are the reasons for doing so?
3. Any other thoughts on this topic that might be helpful for me to know? When it's ok, when not, why shouldn't I care, what type of feature you'd like someone to invent, etc...
I'm asking because I came across a few challenging situations and thouht I might be able to improve upon it.
Thanks,
Kevin |

| Net also. Left hand will always have hold of the reel but right hand will reach for the net. |

| I as well only take my right hand off to net the fish, left hand is always on the reel. Some guys use free spool and may have lost fish due to that, I however do not free spool and let the drag work. |
