"setting the hook"

[ninsk]

I am new to fishing, and here's my problem. I can feel the fish going after my bait and my line is "tugging", and I know that at some point I am supposed to "set the hook", but so far I can't seem to do it. I have thus far only been able to catch bass-because they pretty much hook themselves-but being female, I had some difficulty with them and I'd like to catch other fish as well. Any tips would be appreciated.<br><br>
