All the things we won't do serve to lessen our chances....
I talked to somebody who fishes from a boat, but they don't like to go "way up" in the bay where there are turds floating and the scenery is less than bucolic - the guy said he knew there were big fish in the upper bay, but he did not want to spend his free time there...
The guys whose primary objective is big fish divorce themselves from the sentimentality of purists - they pursue trophy bass by whatever means is most effective.
Some of us won't do the live eel thing; some of us are surf only, fly fishing only, some people won’t fish in a crowd, some won’t fish the bay, etc, etc. There's nothing wrong with be a purist, but there is a downside that needs to be accepted - the price of purism.
