What I do when I've hooked a fish, is I set the hook once when I detect the bit, the fish goes nuts initially, then it settles down and I pop it once for good measure. I've had good success with this all of the fish I've hooked this year have been on size 2 hooks and I haven't lost one yet, knock on wood. Those fish have hard heads, RIP em!
