Question?
 
You have been in a bad slump on the water lately. You already have a kitchen pass to hit the water this weekend. A buddy calls and tells you they filled the ice chests with full limits of barely legal keepers. A couple hours later a different buddy calls and tells you he just caught his personal best...an 8lb'er, but that was the only fish he caught all day long . Both have invited you to join them to go fish the same programs. Who do you choose to go with? The limit of dinks guy, or the 1 big fish guy?

mr crab 05-06-2015 07:58 AM

Also i understand the answer is situational. Just answer as if this actually happened to you today.

bjhooper82 05-06-2015 08:00 AM

Ive caught plenty of dinks. I'd literally throw top water all day for an 8lb trout!

mr crab 05-06-2015 08:00 AM

For myself....if asked today...I'd go smash dinks.

tboy 05-06-2015 08:04 AM

Freezers LOW on Fish, and I've been hungry for em. I'd love to fill up a chest full of 14"ers. Dinks erryday!

ratherbefishing186 05-06-2015 08:41 AM

Dinks

Clampy 05-06-2015 08:43 AM

If i was you. I'd go dinks to get your confidence up.

BassYakR 05-06-2015 08:43 AM

Crab... Id love to chase dinks today but im on that Bass program... And fishing the dogfights this afternoon on da riva.

bobo23 05-06-2015 08:44 AM

I would go with the one fish, 8 lb. guy. Happy to throw TW and twitch baits all day for a big one. If it was July I would probably go with the dinks, guy. But in May, big ones are still showing up in the reports.

It depends on the day.
My freezer is just about empty right now so I would go with the guy that is catching.

jpd0144 05-06-2015 12:31 PM

I don't have much experience at the inshore game ... Id have to go and get my line stretched a bit before trying for a single hog all day.

bearwash87 05-06-2015 12:32 PM

No one in my Family likes to eat any saltwater fish! So bring on the toad hunt!

eman 05-06-2015 01:49 PM

I would go catch 24 dinks (or 14 if out west) then go for the big girl.

duckman1911 05-06-2015 02:10 PM

If I caught one speck it would be my first. If I caught 25 specks it would be my first 25. Hell I guess I would fish half the day with one buddy and the other half with the other buddy. That's almost like asking a guy if he like t i t s or a s s more. Some questions just can't be answered.lmao

redalertlures 05-06-2015 02:14 PM

Dinks and a sure catch just to get my line stretched!!!

Very well put sir.

keakar 05-06-2015 02:24 PM

I smash dinks every time until the freezer is well stocked, then I get picky and look for bigger fish. besides, the dinks are the best eating

mr crab 05-06-2015 02:34 PM

Dinkin is more popular than i thought.

Fixed it

Dogface 05-06-2015 03:09 PM

If he only caught 1 all day chances are you would scratch if you went with him. No pattern to only catching 1 soooo, dinks.

You sure? Did you ask him?

Question answered.... Went and caught dinks....a few solids mixed in. Had a good trip and caught a buncha fish in the howling wind.

RichWentFishing504 05-07-2015 12:31 AM

Awesome. Nothing like catching to get back in the "zone".

mr crab 05-07-2015 07:16 AM

Flounder on corky was cool

Pickles bruh... I ain't bout that life. No disrespect to robby, dude is a hell of a fisherman and guide, his clients want full limits. I'd rather get skunked than catch 20 dinks. Buuuttt....let this rain hold off for a few more days.... Ole Crabby gonna be postin pics of straight hammas...believe dat

bayouchub 05-07-2015 07:37 AM

I think you answered your own question in an earlier post.

tojoe 05-07-2015 08:40 AM

Sort of a contradiction huh? I just love fishing, and talking about fishing...lol

bayouchub 05-07-2015 10:17 AM

Lol. A little. I would go for the big one all day.
