How far out of the box are you guys willing to climb ?

Ok, check this out:

You hear that some guy was using a chunk of hotdog while fishing for catfish, and he sticks a 14 lb Largemouth bass ! Amazing, but surely just a huge coincidence, right ? A few weeks goes by and another guy, also fishing for catfish with a chunk of hotdog, catches a 15 1/2 lb Largemouth !!! But still, this is just way to goofy, and definately not the "In-way" to catch trophy bass. The next year rolls around and the guy with the 14 lb bass from the year before (who has been doing quite well for big cats) catches the lake record BASS, using none other than....... A CHUNK OF FREAKING HOTDOG !!!

My question to you guys is, at what point, if ever, would you start to consider using a chunk of hotdog for trophy bass ???

OK...... now replace the "hotdog" with "nightcrawlers"......
Same question ?

You can probably guess why I am asking this question. Yes, I caught another good one yesterday while fishing a wad of night crawlers (specifically for trophy bass) on my micro-light rod at San Pablo..... 11.7 lbs (will attach a photo..... I held it a little closer to myself, after being ribbed lately, about holding them out... don't know if I like the photo better or not). I'm also quite positive that I will catch more, including some real giants in the future, using this same method.
Please remember that your hearing this from a guy who just loves to stick big bass on Swimbaits too..... and on live crawdads.... and on smaller artificials on beds..... and on any other method which is legal and sporting and will put a big bass in the boat !!!

In a nutshell, "Do you want to catch the biggest bass * " Or "Do you want to catch the biggest bass, period" ???

Remember, "the crowds" are not catching big bass on a regular basis...... so if you want to catch them regulary yourself, don't follow the crowd.

Great fishing to all,
Peace,
Fish
