I'll try to keep my cool next time! Thanks for the tipsTwo suggestions:
1. Don't act or feel like catching a steelhead is such a big fvcking deal. It will help you keep your cool so that you're less likely to make foolish mistakes.
2. Don't pinch the line against the rod grip. Pinch it between your thumb and first two fingers for instant tension adjustability.
3. Sometimes fish come unhooked even when you do everything right. Which is different than snapping a tippet. Use 10# Maxima; it's pretty much idiot proof.
