I was fishing at the whirl pool by Niagara Falls today, and i hooked onto a huuuuuge muskie about 50"+

when the muskie was like 5 feet away from me, i was about to net it, and the fish spit out the lure..

i was using a Jointed Rapala with 15lb line mono with steel leader

bad day for me, i also had a big trout but it also spat out the lure

Change hooks

Sounds like new hooks or a different rod may be in order. 

thats fishing, don't give up try again....you can also loose fish with good hooks

for sure dude

New hooks doesn't equal good hooks. Lots of companies put cheap hooks on their baits to keep them at a certain price point. Very few baits that I buy don't get upgraded hooks right out of the package and Rapalas certainly aren't going to keep the hooks they come with on the rare occasion I buy a Rapala bait.

Drag.. Rod action.. Dull hooks.. Slack on the line..

Maybe..

i changed most of my hooks with very good owner, camakatsu and other brands.But pikes you can easy loose, because they shaking often the hook away. Trout the same.

that sucks man!!! sometimes they just spit them it happens...
