My late friend Lanny Gazinni, one of the best commercial rod and reel guys ever. Fish the Back all season for 30 years. Never got a 50.

What the hell is the difference? Getting a 50 is luck more than skill.
No one can honestly tell me that they went out one night with the expressed purpose of catching a 50 and did so.
Piemma is right on.. If you do all the right things you still might not get a 50 so there has to be more luck involved than most will admit.

when I go out each time I'm looking for the 50
I'm also just as happy with a day on the water.

BTW I need to fish more nights
