alright, gotta PS this thing.
And tlapinski, I'm not starting w/ you, I realize the point of this thread wasn't to start this fight.
But you also have to take into consideration what people are targeting and like was said, time someone gets to put in.
I know that if I put in most of my hours during the night and fished live eels, I could up my big fish numbers. I know that if I focused on fishing live bait or chunking deep water, or trolling a tube'n'worm I would increase my big fish numbers.
I just prefer tossing artificials on light tackle and I would rather fish the 4am to noon shift... partly cause of my family commitments. I added in some live bait fishing, but I generally just dragged herring or eels while casting off the front, slowling working along rocky structure. Only on a few occasions did I focus on getting the bait in the structure, forgoing the artificials.
I'm doing or hoping to do more of this stuff, and other stuff like more flycasting... I hope I can always try new things and learn, but the point is, it depends on what you're into.
Because of various things I want to try more next season, I would bet I'll be in the next range easy, but I'm not sure I'll be that much better of a fisherman. Just a different skill set.
Up to 3 that got 10 50#ers this year, that's pretty impressive.
