I have fished for a caught many LMB and HSB and I would agree with you that the fight from the HSB is stronger and longer than the LMB. However, for me it is not the fight that I enjoy so much as it is the hunt. In other words, I get more satisfaction out of trying to figure out where the LMB are and what they want to bite on that particular day taking into consideration the time of year, depth, weather conditions etc. To me that is the challenge that keeps me coming back. My goals and desires have changed considerably as I get older. I never thought I would get so excited about catching bluegill until my new lake filled up. I am really excited to try one of your pellet flies this weekend that you taught James Holt and I to make. I will let you know how it works!
fishinglth, as we all know, there is a time and place in our lives for all things � good and bad.
I have fought the battle and won - if you let me define winning...
There will be a time in your life when reaping the results of your labor is more important than the challenge...
Enjoy you pond and appreciate the diversity � life is good.
