I tend to agree with this. Live bait is a proven big fish tactic that works well when other options don't. To be a master, you have to know when to use what. If its live bait, so be it. A Master, imo, is also being able to consitantly catch large fish.

ETA - this ought to go over as well as your last controversial post trophy...
