So i only started fishing last summer and had some good fun but at the start of my fishing adventure I did lose a (tiny) pike by hooking it in the gill I put this down to inexperience and carried on fishing. I caught quite a lot of pike through out winter and never had a bad hook set. I was fishing an old quarry recently, it was hot weather so i gathered some people and went camping/fishing/drinking and we had a hell of a session! 7 pike out and six of them by me! but I lost another pike.. A nice 10 pounder and a horrible hook set. This has got me wondering.. Is it because of the hot weather? All fish were caught on a savage gear 200g line through roach. Only one hook but a rather large one located on the bottom of the lure. I would really appreciate some opinions guys. I dont want to hurt any more fish. Many thanks.
