Zep - how many anglers know how to properly handle a trophy? Most are probably so excited when they get a trophy their pants are wet from panic peeing, let alone thinking now I have to be careful how I land and handle this fish.

I have this theory that the biggest bass as RC says do not need to swim fast. I think that often the biggest bass are eating the biggest forage fish that are often sickly or weak with old age, thus they pick the easiest biggest weakest prey to eat. A lot of fish die of old age each year. Few others can eat old age BG or other fish except the biggest predators. Old eating the old type of thing. Does this fit into the optimum foraging theory?
