I lost a big 25 lb. class musky once when the trebles of the plug I was using caught the outer bag of the net.....I heard a "click" and the fish was free and just swam away slowly when I thought she was in the net for sure! Another time I had a nice tiger musky IN the net and somehow it got its nose in an opening of the mesh of the net and just power wiggled back and forth until it was gone.....never even got a chance to touch it! Sometimes the fish have to win.....don't worry about it.....if you have the passion your day will come.....enjoy!
