you'll need to have your main focal point in focus

in my honest opinion the focus should have been on the hook but thats just what i think, pref in the tip of the hook. Remember keep on shooting

It's a very busy background, so in addition to sharpening the focus on the hook, I would use a shallower depth of field to blur the background more. Depending on the location this might also be accomplished by changing your angle of view to put less in the background.

It looks like the hook is slightly out of focus. If the hook was sharply in focus I think the image would pop and appear much better.
