Super User roadwarrior Posted October 18, 2007 Super User Posted October 18, 2007 My #1 priority is simply to be on the water, I love the smell of smoke from a fireplace, tears streaming down my face from the cool crisp autumn air, listening to the sound of a 2-stroke in the distance. My #2 priority is to catch Laid-back...Okay, I'll buy that... Maybe that's why Catt has been able to AVERAGE 27 lb tournament sacks for the last THIRTY YEARS! :o Anyone else on this Forum want to make a similar claim? Me don't think so... 8-) Quote

I know he probably didn't put me in his best waters in June, but he did put me where I cashed a check for 900.00 during the 3 days. And to that, I say thanks, buddy!!!! Matt Quote
Bass_Akwards Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Everytings relative. If you're catching 30-50 fish a day, all one pound or less, for most days of a specific summer, I'd imagine catching one HUGE bass would be the answer. It a tougher question for guys who don't catch much I'm sure. Take it to the extreme though. I'd be willing to bet that nearly no one catching 50 fish in a day all 1 pound and under, come home and say "That was the best day of fishing of my life!" Whereas, I'd be willing to bet most guys who were skunked for 7 hours, only to land a 15+ pound LMB on one of their last casts of the day, almost definately came home and rode that buzz for months. When I caught my world record, I couldn't stop grinning for a year. Okay fine, I never caught a world record, but I've always wanted to say that, so thanks for the opportunity. Quote
bass109 Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I guess i would have to be the odd ball in this one. I like numbers more then big fish. catching my share of big fish, i would rather like catching fish throughout the day then just one big fish. 8-) Quote
granadethrow Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 both, I know a excellent spot where i can pull in 2-6 lbers all day, i mean like 20-50 on a whole fishing day on suturday, only a few dinks mixed in maybe get 2 of those. Once maybe every 2 days a 7 or 8 lber Quote

bassmaster8100 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I gotta go with the lunker, I can catch dinks any day so anytime I can catch a lunker is great. Much greater feeling boating the lunker so I voted for the HAWG MAMA's. Quote
surfer Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I wen tout yesterday and caught a handfull of dinks. Can I change my vote to 1 lunker now? Quote
morieeel Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Had that scenario the last two days. First day, caught one 4-5 pounder, then yesterday caught 7 little ones. Gotta say I like catching the little ones better, just for the fact that i thought each time the lunker was coming. Quote
detroit1 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I like them both. Yes, you get tired of catching dinks, but you are catching. But a biggun', ahhh, you remember those. Just be sure to try learn something everytime out. And don't forget, "eliminating unproductive water" is part of the game. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted October 21, 2007 Super User Posted October 21, 2007 I'm happy no matter what. Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted October 21, 2007 Super User Posted October 21, 2007 My partner is 5 yrs old. Take a guess where my priority falls. Quote
Fish Chris Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Lets see..... That's a tough one..... Can you give me just a minute to think about this ? :-) LOL Let me just put it this way, catching a bunch of dinks would leave me feeling as "skunked" as I could have gotten, in the first place. Fish Quote
Fish Chris Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 One fish "commonly" wins tournies in some Cali lakes. You see, we have some lakes (like my home Lk. Berryessa) where 1 to 2 lb'ers are easy to catxh all day long, but 4 lb'ers seem to be darn near as rare as 10's ! So basically, most guys get a limit for like 10 lbs, no problem. Then, a guy throwing a swimbait gets a 10 plus lb'er, and even if he had scratched out a dinky 10 lb limit to start off with, he wins the tourney without even needing any of them ! Really common at several Nor Cal lakes. Peace, Fish Quote
Vyron Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Well , it actually depends on my mood If I m satisfied with catching enough bass for some time , I ll spend my next outings targeting only big bass. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted October 22, 2007 Super User Posted October 22, 2007 A memory of a lunker will stay with you forever, but alot of dinks get mixed all together. Quote
Dean Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 A lunker is hard to compare to a measely dink. ;D ;D Lunker all the way! 8-) Quote
PBAngler Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 One fish rarley wins tournaments. Yeah but it can get you a big bass pot Quote
Big_Bass_Rock Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Both are good, but which one's better depends. If the one big one is HUGE, 10+ pounds, and the dinks are really little, like 12 inchers, I'd rather catch the one big one. But if the fast action is good size bass, 3 to 5 pounders lets say, I'd rather catch a lot of those than one bigger one all day. Quote
Joel W Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 I'm not a Tx guy. I fish for the fun of it. So I guess for me I rather have nearly constant action then go hours on end either before or after I catch that Lunker. For me Dinks usually are between 1-2 lbs, so they put up a pretty decent fight on light tackle. Quote
BucketmouthAngler13 Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 One fish rarley wins tournaments. Fishing isnt about winning tournaments. Go big or go home. A kid with a worm and bobber can catch a bunch of dinks. Why do you think live bait is ilegal in tourneys? I get alot more satisfaction when I catch one big one. Quote
Red Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 what about fishing all day and getting one dink? cuz thats the rut i am in right now....but i think i would choose A for this one Cliff Quote
surfer Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 so when do we get tot see the results of this poll ? Quote
