I set the hook with iron by cranking, not swinging.

When you find one that gets bit, mark it with red mark and take care of it. I had one magic Salas that caught 7 yellows in December.
Great Tips Pat!! Awesome insight, the above three things really stood out to me, even though the whole article kept me hanging on every word!

Thanks for the knowledge,
