Thanks rob I am not really sure if that is what is happening all the time but a few times for sure. I have also fought them for a while and they jump and there gone. If I am able to spot it early I can get the rod in the water and keep them from jumping but that does not always work. I guess I will have to figure someting out to keep these fish on.

PS check out this fish I got on a 4" storm the other day what do you think happened to it?
