I would say that it's a bad socket. You may be able to take a Dremel with a small wire brush and get down on the inside of the socket and clean the contacts and the inside of the socket.

I'm pretty sure that's the problem, I've seen it happen a lot.

Be careful when cleaning those contacts. That material that the contacts come up through will break easily.

Glad you got it fixed and good luck with the fishing.
