I can recall fishing live bait in big lake 5 times.
I will tip on some fo fo's tho..
I love to fish plastics. Grew up bass fishing and never really used live bait. I don't care if I only catch a few, but knowing I tricked a trout, red, flounder, bass etc with plastic is a good feeling.
I will admit soaking a 4" threadfin shad on lake texoma or tawakoni for stripers is fun, and big gizzard shad or perch for big blue cats and flatheads.
BTW, real men use a bow
