Always fish in 1st 10 min. then slow. WHY?

Because the fish was there first and saw no lures or eels until you presented one. It's like being the first guy into an hotel bar 45 minutes after a planeload of nurses returning from a convention was just grounded due to snow and given free rooms.

yup, the desperate, agressive, ugly, etc. (i.e. hungry, aggressive) ones go quick. it takes alittle more effort/class/money to land the rest. good analogy.

also, in some areas (mostly quiet, calm ones) i've found that the act of fighting and landing a fish can spook others.
