Funny story. My brother and I w/ our family and friends were fishing a private pond......the owners pretty much used hotdogs to catch the fish. I wouldn't stoop to it, so I was over there throwing senkos and liplesses. Well, my little sister and her friend's little Barbie poles suddenly started doubling and twice a 5+ lb. bass broke their lines. My brother started fishing with hotdogs, and caught a 4# and a 5#, his PB. I will never, ever, let him forget or count that as a real catch.
By the end of the day, they had caught 5-6 small catfish, a giant 17 lb. catfish, 8-9 nice bass, and lots of huge bream on those hotdogs. I finally gave in and caught a small bass on one towards the end of the day.....didn't count as real bass fishing to me, though.
