But just imagine u where the NIB.


I think there are 2 parts to the questions. I think more people do catch 30's now, due to advanced technology like braid. fish before that, were broken off. However, I think those ar ethe guys that get 1 every couple of years or that will be their largest ever.

I think in the most important thing you need to do in order to catch fish over 30, you need to fish alot of hours in the middle of th night where you can't rely on seeing stucture, current etc, but you learn to feel it. And in those hours, understand spots pretty intimately to understand the patterns in how the fish relate to that spot. As with anything, the guys with the most hours spent fishing, usually have the most large fish. This is a pretty generic answer, but i think it holds true. There will always be things like NJ's june bunker fishing where you can pencil popper 30's with little knowledge, but those aren't always the guys that can get a 30 in th middle of the summer or when fishing is slow in the fall when no one else can get fish. And sometimes, its just luck.

I also think there are alot of fish caught, that nobody ever hears about.
