In my opinion it is the person who can produce the best the body of water has to offer anywhere you drop them. It is to different to go and fish for a limit than fish for that one big fish. You may have all day to work on that one big one once you find it but in a tournament you are going ot have to try to put together what you can on a shorter amount of time. I am sure the pros would love to try and catch one over 20 lbs but they have to gear themself to what they need to do and those 15-18 inch 2-3 lbs are easier to find than one say 20-22 and 14-15 lbs.
