don't think you can compare one fish with another. depends then on tackle etc. I like bass though :lol: :lol:

Never caught a bass. Hope to have an opinion on this someday.

But sea-trout will try every trick in the book to get off the hook.

Probably not. But what we can do is make sure that whenever anyone types bass, it get replaced with Bass with a capital letter. Seems only right and proper.

Me....

I'm a whiting fanatic, cant catch enough of 'em......the smaller the better

Best thing is, my success rate is superb, 99.9% in fact.

Last 7 sessions I've gone out to target them, I've hit the jackpot, loads of 'em, must of bagged over a hundred.

They are catchable at all ranges, on all rigs, and on hook sizes - 6 to 6/0, meaning anglers of all abilities can catch them........how good is that :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
