I respectfully disagree. Most people are content either just getting a bite or just getting decent/quality fish but a lot of them are not willing nor do they have the determination to target big fish consistently. When they realize they just spent X amount on gas & time the 'excusitis' automatically kicks in and they tell themselves ' I should have went to x place at least I would have got a #20 or #30'. I know for a fact that some guys catch a lot more fish then others#50's included but the fish and the fisherman go under the radar. Bigfish...yeah 15 or 20 are recorded but a lot more are caught and them guys are doing something different. I've always believed some people just learn from their mistakes and move on while others don't, not just with fishing but with everything. People are habitual, they pound the same spots over and over while others think outside the box and eventually find what they're looking for.
