Inches or pounds?

If you ever listend to one of BTG's seminars he makes mention of the largest fish in the school coming either at the beginning or end of the bite. I can say this scenario has panned out for me countless times and is also a good reason why one shoudn't leave fish, especially large 20# plus stuff, to find larger ones.

...your trophy could be passing by as you're throwing the rods up on your roof rack and peeling off your piss soaked wetsuit in search of greener pastures...many of my real big fish turned out to be either my first or last fish of the night...more often the last...

You should stay put, particularly if you're shore fishing from a single, fixed location like a distant rock or prominent point.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
