I would settle for non-stop action any day over 1 nice fish, unless it's 50+

HAMMER TIME!

I was just pondering the same thing in my head, and I came to the conclusion that if you fish for large you don't catch sometimes at all
if you just go out and fish a spot that produces who knows what you will catch. so to answer you question I don't know I Hate getting skunked but I do both so I like it 50/50 if that makes any sense

Surfcasting Full Throttle

Big wood for big fish is over stated and over rated! I caught plenty of nice size fish on some pretty small plugs.....I would rather toss a middle of the road size plug and hook up all day long than wear myself out ch#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g a heavy clunky plug hoping for that one giant to happen along!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Definately the large especially when your talking 30 or larger and I'm with you on the battle their putting up. I've gotten in into some nice fish in the last two to three weeks where fish 10 to 15+ pounds smaller were giving a better battle fooling me into thinking they were getting larger as it got closer to sunrise.

right on the money Slingah... fighters is what ya want.
maybe it's an age thing, I can't get charged up over a bunch of twenty inch fish, versus a couple twenty pound fish... not bad to have a bunch of hungry little ones on a warm summers night, but if it's a chilly fall night, I just can't get horsed over schoolie fishing... get into a few decent ones, I'm there, but little guys.... nah, house is warm... like i said, maybe it's my age.

I'm with you on this one. Of course, I'm speaking from a boat perspective. Nothin' like bein' with the guys at the buoy on a nice summer night with the water moving and the rip boiling. Run up just past the structure, put the eels down, and WHAMO! Multiple hookups of 25 lbers. Run back up and do it again, then again, then...



Of course, there's something to be said for moving around the corner to grab a coupla cows on the yo-yos.

i targeted large all season using big wood. because of that i got skunked alot, and probably missed a bunch of fish in the low teens... now i kind of regret it. i did have some great large nights, but they were not often.
