I DID IT AGAIN![[Image: angry.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/angry.gif)
. I've been out a couple times and the wind has made the pond look like a whirlpool. Untill yesterday I finally had a smooth pond to practice on. About a half hour untill sundown, I see a tiger musky body surfing about a hundred feet to my left, and fifteen feet from shore. So I crept over and chucked it about five feet to the right of him. I reeled in fast to pick up the slack and then two seconds into my slow retrieve, this giant mouth comes up to nail it. AGAIN I set the hook too soon. Someone said I need to discipline myself, I think I need to be beat with a stick[pirate]. I'll keep trying though, I'm sure the first time I hook one, will be the last time I miss one.
