it is about fun for me and not money or gratification because my fish is bigger than the next persons.
big fish are really fun ,but i love numbers of bites .
i have used high end electronics of all sorts and or been on rides with the guys that do and in more than one occasion it has made the difference between no fish and a pile of fish . but .....
yesterday i went to spot and stood on the bank with just a bare jig and float , my total crappie count was 76 in 1 hour and 15 minutes ,its heavily fished and under a bridge and the fish were mostly really small , the ONLY reason i went was just to have fun.
and watching the float go away every cast was in fact great fun
