Default 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?

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

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.
