At Holt, Ive caught bass weighing 5+ pounds, while using this set-up

I can easily fish a 5/16 ounce or 3/8 ounce lure on 20 pound fluorocarbon with a baitcasting setup

If they happen to strike the next day, theyve forgotten what they learned last week

Wetting your hands before handling, supporting the fish horizontally rather than vertically, and minimising time out of water all reduce stress on a species thats slower to recover from rough handling than many coarse fish
