While I have to admit a live eel from the surf is probably the most productive method to get a large bass...That said, I would rather catch it on a quality plug. Some I know would like to do it on a jig (bucktail). Either way, it takes more skill as a surfcaster to fool and land a big bass with an artificial then it does with live bait. Live bait is considered "cheating" many purists, just as fishing from a boat is. If you want to be recognized as a top surfcaster...its not just about big fish beached, it is how you do it. If you like to see your name in the paper for a big fish, fish live bait. I tend to fish about 65% plugs 20% eels, 10% rubber 5% jigs. I don't espose this as the "right" way...its just what I do.
