Fish stringer: bad loss!

Yesterday I had a very pleasant dive in one of my favourite hunting spots. I was very happy about the dive, and excited because it was plenty of fish. The harvest was nothing special, but still they were three nice breams. At last I felt tired and decided to swim back to land, and I was already thinking of how to cook the fish (my idea was: baked in butter with leaves of sage) while suddenly I realized the "accident" occured:
I had lost the fish stringer (and the fishes too), which had slipped away from my belt! No dinner!!!
That's jolly unfortunate, but it's my fault: I normally check the stringer once in a while and secure it to the belt (or to the float). I give to loops of the string around one of the lead weights, and then secure the nail between belt and weight. This time I was too excited and distracted, so I didn't give it the proper care.
But this gives a chance to discuss a subject that hasn't been discussed in recent times:
How and where (belt, float) do you secure your fish stringer?
