Either your spoiled (like me) and would rather catch nice big fish than things that look like striper bait.
OR....again like me, your time is limited. I rather hop in the boat and be fishing within 30 minutes of leaving my driveway when I have the time, then spending hours getting to some pond and fishing with 8 lb line.

You hardly ever see a picture of a guy holding up 10 trout.
But see plenty of a guy holding up one moby bass.
Still both are fun and a good excuse to get out of the house.
I used to do it all.... smelting, ice fishing, trout, LMB/SMB you name it.
