Interesting Ty. When I throw topwater, I have found that I have to have intense concentration on the lure to the point where it wears me out and makes me tired. LOL I've watched you use topwater. You talk, you look at me, you gawp around and you catch the snot out of fish on topwater, seldom missing a fish. It's magic, I swear. My point: when exactly, does one set the hook on a topwater hit ? When you see the action, or when you "feel" the action ? Or when you hear it ?
