losing lake trout

Hell ya, I know this one did whatever she wanted and pulled plenty of drag. A little strip of Sucker on back, and a 5-10° bend off center of trebles makes them way less apt to let go, and way more dangerous! Damn given away all my secrets, lol

For some reason im having bad luck losing lakers as soon as they break the surface out away from the boat. Is this something im doing incorrectly? Should i lighten my drag more for these soft lip fish? i usually use spoons with treble hooks. any insights would be appreciated.

I never considered losing lake trout , aka oil cans , a Bad thing
