From Hook to Cook

[MrBait]

Hello fellow fishermen. I am currently writing a book that deals with what to do with your catch from the time you hook it, to the time you’re ready to cook it. I need your help. I’m looking to you for how-to tips and tricks as well as subjects you would like to see covered. I already have a basic outline and most of research finished, but I still feel it’s missing something. I’m hoping with your advice and questions I can fill in the blanks. I thank you in advance for your sage wisdom.

how to hook and land a monster may be the skill only to be mastered by learning from failures, painful moments we never forgot...
This skill is different from the one that catches many fishes... I was taught by a couple of pro's but at the end, I have to go through some failures to understand it...
While there are some common basic things, talking about the skill itself may be very subjective and locally significant and change from place to place as well as from species to species... And many secrets will not be talked about over Internet.

At the end, there may be only one skill required, which is you can learn from the failure or not...

What do I know?... nothing...lol
