fish catching methods

[Legacy]

everyone loves polls so heres another one......

[Yankee Troller]

Im a leadcore/copper guy b/c I know that throughout the day our big boy will fall victim to one of those set-ups!

Who does not love to see that Core rod take off with a screaming king on there....Definately makes the heart pound when it goes..... Love that Core.

I think the savage strikes on the screamin' wire dipseys make my poll decision easy. Not to say a tripped rigger doesn't get the blood moving.

[big easy]

Oh man,there's nothing like the hit on a wire dipsy,I love it when it's been a bit slow,and you're not paying attention,when all of a sudden,that wire rod starts screaming,and it's tough to get out of the rod holder.

Remember in the movie "Patton",when George C Scott is talking about war and the battles,and says "god I love it so". Well, thats how i feel about wire dipsies.

Wire dipseys are my favorite. When the wire bite is on, you can not beat it.

Copper would be # 1 , dipsey #2. what an awesome fight when the copper starts screaming.

Sorry, IMO leadcore and copper kill the fight of the fish. I love to see that rod snap up with a rigger release and have nothing but the weight of the fish to feel. It was not an option, but, my favorite is hooking a king off the piers in the fall while casting. To feel that slam when a mature nails your spoon in the dark is nothing short of orgasmic.....sorry for the visual.

Its a better visual without the korny lunch box

You know my answer is Riggers all the way. Controlled depth Execution.

Gill seen a piece of that last Pro-Am

My vote goes to the wire hits. To see that rod pound and struggle to get it out of the holder really is a rush.

Jerry, I have come to know that downrigger hits on your boat are too dangerous!!!

[RUNNIN REBEL]

Pat,

You just remember to "RUSH" At 6:30 and 25 seconds into Pro-Am day 1 this year. Man 3 full grown fishermen staring at each other to get the first rod IS JUST WRONG

"Controlled Depth Execution" i like that jerry, and i might have to steal it too.

[Yankee Troller]

i agree about fighting fish on core and copper. Its not very fun, but you know that your big boy of the day WILL come off it. As far as fighting i would choose the rigger rod with a spoon. Now there is a clean/fun fight.

[fishfearme]

Wire dipseys all the way. 2 guys three kings on wire all over 20lbs. Thats what I call fun

[Legacy]

i love to watch the leadcore rod get whacked and i love to hear the wire dipsey rod scream but i would have to pick downriggers, myself.nothing better in my eyes than a hot spoon bite on the riggers. plus i think its a better battle of man vs. fish

[poverty stricken II]

Does it really matter what a big king hits. I love to hear the real scream, put up the fight and let them go for another day. Oh ya its a poll, I choose the rigger no other weight

Gulp. My favorite method is with a rod, reel, line and hook. Any way to entice the peanut size brain to strike.

Most favorite though is on a nice drift from the bank when I can't see the fish in the water. All that tension is released in a mighty wham as that brute notices you are on the other end of that line. Drift fishing is active and you have all your attention on the rod tip as you drift through the holes. I had a great season on the tributaries-landed several hundred and lost many more.

Oh, sorry, that wasn't one of the options.
