The act of setting the hook while fishing (primarily bass fishing) before the fish has fully taken the bait. A variant of premature ejaculation.
The largemouth absolutely blew up his topwater presentation, but in an act of premature hookulation, Deadeye jerked the Live Target Bluegill right out of that 5 pounder's mouth

A angler that yanks it to soon. Typically happens with setting the hook on hollow belly frog fishing. These require a 2 or 3 count generally after the initial blowup before the yank to set the hooks. Many a angler commits to soon hence premature hookulation.
That was a blessing, cause had you been watching you probably would have had an issue with premature hookulation.
The not paying attention gives you the extra 3 count to get a proper hookset without yanking it too soon.
