Monster Bass Or Numbers?

[Bass_Akwards]

Okay guys I hate recycling my old posts but theres a ton of new members, and old members may have changed their minds... It's one of my favotrite topics for some stupid reason so I want to know...

What's a better fishing day?

Fishing your favorite lake in the universe for 10 hours and catching 100+ bass in the 2-6 pound class range? (1-3 pound class SMB)

OR

Fishing your favorite lake in the universe and on your first cast of the day you catch a 14 pound LMB (or a 8 pound SMB), then the rest of the day, you catch NOTHING?

I'll take the latter

[Carrington]

well tbh, 2-7 pounds where i live is a very good bass, and a 14 lb bass is unheard of, but tbh i just like to go out and have a good day catch some big ones and small ones.

[D4u2s0t]

14 would be a state record, and I didn't break 5 pounds last year, so those #'s don't apply to me lol.

I would be happy with either day though, as long as I'm catching something.

[K_Mac]

Either one of those days would be a GREAT day. If forced to choose I would take day two. One monster equals many, many smaller fish IMHO.

The answer to numbers versus size for me is it depends. Most of the time if I'm fishing with someone I would pick numbers. When I'm alone I usually focus on size. Most of my bigger fish this past year came on days I was fishing alone. In my experience most folks don't want to spend a lot of time looking for the big bite.

[DINK WHISPERER]

Here 2-6lb bass are considered of size!

I'm looking for the 100+ day. No two fish are gonna fight the same way, so your gonna have 100+ new adventures.

Even though the monster would be fun to catch, i think it'd set me up for disapointment catching a hog so fast because then id get frustrated when i wasnt getting hits the rest of the day.

for me, alot of small one over a big one any day.

[Goose52]

Tough decision - but I think I would have to take day 1 and get the 100 fish.

I've never had a 100 brim day, let alone a 100 (theoretically) 2-6lb LMB day. Like switch just said, that's 100 adventures. I've caught solitary big fish before, and while it's great at the moment, it's still just one "fish fight." I'll go for the numbers of great fish, and pass on the 1 monster fish. (AND, from what I've been told, sometimes the hawgs don't fight was well as the smaller fish ....I know my 7 3/4 pounder made a couple of runs and that was it - on the bank in about a minute or two...I just got the feeling it was an old fish...)

Now, if you had said, catch a 100 dinks, vs, the 14 pounder - that would be an easier decision ;D

Since I am so obsessed with catching a 10+ I will take day 2.  After that I'm sure my obsession will grow and be looking for that 12 next and so on!

[Team9nine]

I'm a numbers guy myself - always have been, so scenario #1 for me.

[Grey Wolf]

NUMBERS.

[bwillis]

Numbers

[SoFlaBassAddict]

I've never caught 100 bass in a day, I have caught a bunch.  I've caught a few large ones...

I have caught over 100 dolphin in a day.  I've caught several pushing 50 pounds...

Give me the numbers any day of the week.

[b.Lee]

If I caught anything over 10lbs it would worth my one fish day, but I suppose numbers would be better

[hiker]

Well...

Since my biggest bass ever was probably not much bigger than 2 pounds anyway, and I haven't caught 100 bass in my life, let alone in one day...I'm going to have to go with the 100 fish day.

Now if we were talking trout...no doubt, I'll take the 14lb fish.

[Brian B]

This topic usually comes up every week during tournaments with my partner/cousin.  He would rather catch 10 or so 5+ pounders, where as I would rather catch 100 of any size.  But when it's tournament time.......i usually change my mind

[Big Bait Fishing]

i fish big swimbaits so i would rather catch a 14 lb. fish and get skunked the rest of the week !!  . i am always going for huge bass , not small ones . i understand people wanting numbers but i want the BIG fish 

[bassman31783]

I'll take the big one.  One huge fish will make a year.

[32251]

On a day when you could catch 100 bass....that means the big ones are biting too. I would immediately stop fishing for numbers and put on some big bait.

[Shane Procell]

Since I never caught a 14'er....i'll take the mega monster one time.

[Fishing Rhino]

While the 14 pounder would be the fish of a life time, I'd be concerned that there were so few fish in the pond.

But if I'm catching numbers of 2 to 6 pounders, I'd have no such concern.

Maybe for a day now and then, the fourteen pounder would be better.  For day in and day out fishing, the action is where it's at.

[Taylor Fishin 4 life]

choice number 2 for me unless its a touney

[zero limit]

14lbs. for a bass is a once in a life time catch

[noogai13]

FORMER all the way. MORE BASS=MORE FUN!

[J Francho]

I fish for big fish, rec. or tournament.  I never saw anyone win a tournament with a limit of dinks, but I have done well on tough days with 2 or 3 big fish. 

[bassfisherjk]

I like catching big fish but would go for the numbers.
