How To Set Up or Tie Your Fishing Hook

Ok, this is one of the more difficult things that I've encountered since I've started fishing.  I was probably taught this one during my Boy Scouting days but I wasn't really too attentive when it comes to knots so there.  The cool thing about fishing though, especially fishing at El Kapitan in Coloong is the steady supply of fishers who are only too willing to help.  When one of the guys fishing there saw me having difficulty setting up my fishing pole, I got instant help.  The bad thing was that I didn't watch him set up my fishing rod, so I didn't learn anything.  I just said thanks and proceed to fishing.

Earlier today, I was looking at the sorry state of my fishing pole.  The lines have been mangled already due to a lot of missed err fishing rod throws or casting?  Lol.  Sorry I don't know the exact phrase.  Anyway, I wanted to re-setup my fishing pole because I'm already excited for the next weekend.  As I cut and carve the lines to free up my floater (maybe bobber is the better term) and to reuse some of the hooks, I suddenly remembered that I don't have any freaking idea how to tie the fishing hook!  No matter how much I stare at the current set-up, I just can't reverse-engineer (hah!) the knot so I can replicate it.

Now I may not be a great fisherman yet, and the only fishes I've caught so far are milkfish, but I can say with great confidence that I am an awesome internet surfer.  And looking for articles or videos on how to tie a knot is easy picking for me.  So below are some videos that may be of use to amateur fishermen like myself who are too ashamed to confess that they don't know how to tie a fish hook to their fishing rods and are too proud to ask for assistance.  Enjoy them videos and thank God for youtube. :)
