My observations mirror yours. One time I put on a whole little wb hooked through the chin/nose. I got a really hard hit on it but couldn't hook him. A while later I reeled in to check the bait and discovered that all was gone but the head. Later I thought that using a larger bait might yield larger fish. I put a slab of white bass nearly as large as my palm on. The fish continually harassed it, but wouldn't hook up. Finally I got tired of jumping for my rod at every false alarm and cut the bait up, using just a quarter of it. Then I caught a fish on that. To my thinking half a YOY is just right, but they hit everything.
I have some of the last bass you gave me left but it's getting pretty "mature". The fish don't seem to mind but my wife hates it when I put them in the fridge. If you can spare any I'd appreciate it. I promise to replace it. Would you like some chubs? I'm planning a run to Scofield to get some out of the creek there below the dam.

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
