If y'all know the bigger sacks are caught flipping why aint y'all flipping?

I agree with Catt. If you know how the big fish are being caught, why aren't you fishing like that? Not just during tournaments, every chance you get so you can get more comfortable doing it. If you don't want to do it all day, go catch your 5 real quick like you're saying, then go flip the rest of the day. You don't need but 1 or 2 more bites at that point, even if you don't know what you're doing really well, chances are you flip enough mats you'll hit one on the nose eventually. Don't keep beating yourself by limiting your techniques to the same things you always do that don't win. Take the time to learn about big bass too if you haven't, they're almost a different species of fish. 

I learned a long time ago, you either go big or go home. Do not start the day trying to get a limit and then moving on to what you hope will be better fish. Start the day out looking for those five BIG bites.
