big old bass get that way by not being caught or getting caught and released(which is very likely),think about it a 50lb striper is around 18 years old this old lady has seen everything from rigged eels to danny plugs.but in a sense when your fishing with bait your not tricking the bass into striking like with a plug,you are feeding the bass with a chunk of mackeral or a live pogy or eel which they will take down in a heart beat.

You should ask stiff tip about the 50 plus lb. fish in the canal that ate his plug many years ago.

Or, you could ask Al McReynolds, Tony Stetzko, or Charlie Cinto, all of whom took 70#+ fish on lures (Stetzko's even hit a teaser fly instead of the live eel that was on the same leader), or Tim Coleman and Iron Mike who have multiple 60s on wood. |

Frank Daignault, 7 stripers over fifty on plugs or rigged eels, and countless amount of 40 pounders. It doesn't take any skill to use bait it's all luck. Tony C. last year caught a 62.5 on a Habs Jointed Neddle

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

that is totally awesome, I think if that worked it may prove that stripers feed more based on sight and/or instinct than smell....
hmmmm...

learning the spots
I meet a guy at work about 15 years ago. We became good friends and started fishing together. At that time I was catching fish, but nothing like what this guy would catch. He began teaching me his spots. One spot off Falmouth is so particular that you have to approach the spot perfectly. Your line needs to be down ~45 feet. He had it worked out that you need 100 yds steel line with a 10 foot 80lb mono leader. The detail was incredible. It took him years to perfect this, but that spot with that technique works every year. The bottom line is that some guys put in a lot of time perfecting technique and spots to fish.
That's what pisses me off about On the Water. They give away spots that have been favorites to a handful of folks for years. It's unfortunate that sometimes the only way you ever get to really catch fish is to meet the right person.

Ive thought a lot about this thread today and here's my 10 cents which will be added to my next book "striper-mania"
The best striper men out there stay quiet, avoid attention, operate in the shadows and most of them trust no one. They may have boasted at one time, they may have enjoyed the spotlight, and they may have trusted a few. But, to go the long haul, the very best stay quiet and focus all of their energy on where to fish, when to fish and how to fish. They use the tactics that they know will A- produce the largest bass B- use tactics that are not tireing so they can fish long periods of time, and C- they use these tactics over and over and over in the same spots that they know will produce at a certain moon stage/tide. For them, fishing the suds is not a hobby, its not a passion, its an obsession which has made them sacrifice all in life to possibly catch the one fish out there that will validate everything that they have sacrificed so much for..

Well, that pretty much rules you out  
Sorry.
Bait can certainly take skill to consistantly produce big fish, and eel fishing is an art to its own...
Habs makes a good point as well, if the fishing hurts the family then there's something lost.
For me it's all about time on the water. You can't learn to catch large if you're not fishing enough to monitor and recognize behavioral patterns.
