While I was fishing today I noticed after catching a few fish that my hook wasn't penetrating the maggots easily at all. I then lost four fish in a row to hook pulls, one being under my feet after bringing it 40 yards back upstream. I knew why the hook was pulling out but was just too lazy to replace it with a new one. After loosing four fish like that I did put on a new hook and didn't loose another fish.
As has been said already in this thread, blunt hooks are one common cause of hook pulls/bumping fish.
