George you must be bored to stir this one up.
I don't classify any type of attempt to catch a fish on the proper sized gear as boring.
If you want a real charged fishing experience then try wade fishing (hand grabbing) for knifefish (Electrophorus electricus).
George I started to list some of the disadvantages/limits of HSB but decided not to do that . Opinions are just that while facts speak for themselves. :p
