Fishing the whirl pools at Steward Island for salmon and hooked into a hog. Had the bugger on for a good 15 minutes using a single action fly reel, when after finally gaining some ground on him bam he was off.
Reeled in and and what do i find. THE FRIGGING KNOT came untied AT THE HOOK.
And the part that really ****ed me off was that the guide had tied it on.
Lesson learned that day. Never trust tackle to anyone but yourself.
