How do y'all tie on a fish hook? Serious question btw...do you have one or two sections of line going through the eye of hook....the knot I use has two....the "common" way, only one....

Depends on what kind of line.
For monofilament, one loop through the eye, bunch of twists, loop through the space between the bottom twist and the eye, tighten. Kinda like a hang mans knot, learned it at 4 as "fisherman's knot" and that is what I've always called it, but it is basically an improved clinch knot.
For braided line, I use a palomar knot. A traditional fisherman's knot (above) will actually cut itself when you tighten it, OR the braided line won't have enough friction against itself to stay together and will just pull apart.
