Man! I tell ya, when I get to thinking seriously about adding live scope to my rig then I run across a post like this and it makes me change my mind. Ive always said that I catch all the fish me and my family wants to eat (sometimes 3 or 4, but mostly me and the wife) and I like long lining for 'em. To me that's the lazy way to catch fish and early spring until hot summer I catch plenty. With my age and health I dont particularly care to get out in the winter cold nor the hot summer anymore so up until now Ive been avoiding live scope. BTW, I have heard of a person here in my town that fishes live scope and brings home a limit of crappie to sale almost every trip he makes.(It used to be white perch but now it's crappie.) Cant prove it though.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
