No pictures as you will soon see why. In last three days have hooked six fish and landed NONE-no bad knots, etc - just the hook pulling out. This AM was especially bad as I had two fish, both about 27", about ready to beach and the hook pulled out. Lost another fish after having it on for about a minute.

I feel for ya. I had the worst loosing streak ever a few weeks ago. Over about a week and a half I lost 22 fish out of 24 and the ones I did land were dinks. All but two the hooks pulled on. It seems to have passed for now. I would rather hook and loose them than not hook them at all though.

I dont consider a fish coming off at the very end a bummer at all. Actually I consider it a blessing. You get the best of the fish and you dont have to handle it. Which is a much healthier scenario for the fish. I know its a bit disapointing in the world of digital photograghy and the desire to photogragh your quarry.
