My theory is that I was just blowing their mouth open while setting the hook. Im not sure what adjustment to make. I was only flipping with a 3/8 tungsten weight. The bites were very agressive so Im pretty sure they had the whole bait in their mouth. But a couple times the hook was still in the bait when I reeled in. When I'm using a straight shanked flipping hook, I never run the hook all the way through the bait. Maybe I need to go to a wide gap hook and texpose?
