I'm not saying that anyone is a bad fisherman, and I'm certainly not saying that I'm a better fisherman than anyone.

I just really want to know if the "lockjaw" LMB situation applies when using live bait.

And I don't want to hear an answer like "I wouldn't use live bait even if a swarm of cormorants had me tied down......" (you know who you are!)

edit: ML, you made your last post while I was typing in my reply to Ric.
