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.

very good point. i absolutely agree that a 50# is a "lucky" catch. yes you have to have done you hw, but no matter what, your still getting very lucky.
