WHATS A BETTER DAY ON THE WATER???? AND WHY?

(a) The day where every other cast is a bass, just not very good ones.....dinks and med size bass...but action all day long

(OR)

( The day where you dont catch nothing all day, and then BAM.....you get 1 in, a "lunker-sized" bass

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personally, im with ( even though i hate those slow days......

the way my flood starts flowing, and my hands start shaking when I might have my best one yet.....nothing compares to that.....that feeling of desperation "I NEED TO GET THIS FISH IN!"

WHATS A BETTER DAY????

Both.

Why ? because fishing to me is not how many or how big, just being out there is what makes fishing so good.

Hard question...I think I would pick the catching frequently, although I have days like only catching one big one in the early spring often.

Nothing like catching fish after fish, but as I stated in this thread

I'm kinda getting tired of the same old dinky fish. I'm torn!

A boat full of medium sized bass will put you in the money more often than one big one.  I like the constant action because I know what I'm doing is working and if it stops working, I get to put the puzzle back together again.  I find fishing enjoyable because it's constanly a puzzle.  that and I get to collect squishy and shiney things with points on them

What I like are: Good ol' biguns and big ol' gooduns!

Go big or go home.

I would rather catch nothin' than snag little fish.

As Raul said, both. Being out there is what counts.

It depends on how my last trip turned out.    Since I caught 1 fish on my last trip out and it was a new PB I voted lots of fish.

I fish for as big a fish as I can catch. I get skunked a lot because I'm not interested in dinks. JMHO

One fish rarley wins tournaments.

If I can catch one big, my day is complete.  I'd rather spend all day in search of a monster than catch a bunch of dinks.  I guess I'm still looking for that trophy bass I have always wanted.

Since I am gaining confidence in bass fishing now, I feel better if I can catch a few fish versus hawgs at the moment.  My best day so far has been about 8 bass, but the bite seems to be picking up a bit now.

gotta go with r.w. on this one!!! ;D

I'm kinda torn on this one.  So here is my opinion:  If i'm fishing a body of water that I fish frequently and have caught many fish there before, I would rather catch one big fish all day.  But if i'm fishing new water or water I have only fished rarely, i would rather catch more fish to build confidence.

Honestly a tie for me I love 'em both

All pumped whn landing the big one but bored on the days where I get skunked so I'd say a tie.

I just love catching bass it is a blast and I'm not too proud to catch 10,11 or 12" er's. I have a blast with them all, just something about bass that fascinates me.

Tough call, if it's 10lbs+ I'd take that FOR SURE!

I don't wish to straddle the fence but depending on my circumstances, I like both. Sometimes I want to catch numbers to beat my record for a day. Sometimes I target big bass.  Usually it goes like this: I spend the day goin' for big mama.  Then as my fishing liberty approaches expiration, I start praying and hoping I catch anything, even a dink, because I don't like going home skunked. :   ;D

Agreed but I don't fish tourneys so my answer is..........

The Lunker!!!!   ;D

Catching numbers is fun, but what puts that smile on my face for the rest of the day or weekend is that one monster that I was able to land.  8-)

Not true, you are only looking at stringer tournaments.     We have lots of Big Bass Splashs  where an easy half million in cash and prizes are given away.

Totally for amatuers only, no guides can fish on that lake if they have guided for pay within 90 days, no pros that have fished with and entry over 450.oo in calendar year.

One fish can win you, an amatuer, 120,000.oo in cash and prizes.    2 years ago, remember the 11 year old that was the youngest to win over a 100,000.oo?

2009, on Sam Rayburn in April for 3 days, 25th aniv.   Bob Sealy is uping the payout to a cool 1 million dollars, $250,000.00 going to first place, the Sportsman package has normally been, New Hummer H2, New Triton Bass boat, New travel trailer, and a Bad Boy Buggy.    

I'd love to see some of you guys come down for that one with me.    

So one fish can win you lots of money.

Commonly heard: "George, I am only interested in catching a big fish!"

Followed up after a relatively short while: "George, where's the fish?"

I agree with Raul and others that fishing is about being out there. However, it's not many that enjoy getting skunked.

Unless you are fishing with George Welcome, Randall, Catt or a few other guys on the Forum, you're going to get skunked targeting "Big Fish Only". It's just part of the program. As Fish Chris might say, "Getting skunked just means you were one cast away from a monster!"

I'm with Raul, I enjoy being on the water. Although I would like to break the 7# mark on the smallies, I've been stuck on 6-15 for too long.

I totally agree w/ Raul. I could also say "neither"...haha. I get out 2 or 3 days a week, so I stumble across enough small bass (3 lb or less) to make my answer "lunker".

I set out for quantity over quality, but if I can only catch 1 bass all day, I want a big 'un!

I love to go out and get a lunker, but usually get a couple of small ones.  But the main reason I go out their is just to be out their.  So even if I don't catch anything, it is still better then then work or something else.

My #1 priority is simply to be on the water, I love the smell of smoke from a fireplace, tears streaming down my face from the cool crisp autumn air, listening to the sound of a 2-stroke in the distance.

My #2 priority is to catch
