I dont think theres much luck in taking 30lbers, mostly skill and timing.
And I agree, most people arent targeting large, or they just think they are.
What is the difference though?
i haven't caught multiple 30s, but i have taken a 30 the past two seasons. not a huge accomplishment, but im still young and i know ill go large at some point. i know i've lost a lot of big fish too, mostly due to dull hooks. yeah im an idiot. but i've put myself in the position to take a big fish. i think it comes down to if youre not out there fishing every night chances are youre not gonna get the big one...
