My first and Second Flags of the Day Today, Well actually My Only Flags of the Day and I failed on Both of them. And this was at the Andy Cadell 3rd Annual Fishing Derby on Kingston Lake in New Hampshire. It's still good though as the Money goes for a good cause.  It was still Fun Too! I was really hoping to get some good video of Me actually Catching some fish...lOl

I want to help by telling you to set the hook a lot harder. Check out the video I posted titled: Get more hook ups with tip ups. It is back a page or two. Keep trying! :tipup: :tipup: :tipup:

I bend the tips out a little more, helps to set it. ;)
You can get a good look at a steak by sticking your head up a bull's a$$, but wouldn't you rather take the butcher's word for it??

Make sure that the hook point isn't buried into the bait.
The minnow can thrash about just enough to turn the hook around and prevent you from getting a hookset.
I've had that happen to me too many times, but persistance does pay off.
