I think it's more a case of people not exactly talking about their bad days
on the water, combined of course with the occasional tall tale ;-)

I'm thrilled to death if I have one 50+ day per year. The most I ever
caught in quick succession was two years ago at Lake George, NY, before &
during the NJ Federation Six Man Team Tourney. In four days of practice I
boated over 300 keepers, well over 50 per day. My numbers were down during
the tournament because I was concentrating on quality, not quantity. I
ended up finishing fourth & weighing the biggest bag of the tourn on day2,
about 15 pounds. What a week that was! I just got a call from my club
president, seems I'll be joining them up there again this June.

I have a confession. In my 20+ years of bass fishing I don't think
I've ever broke double digits alone. My best days are always around
6-7 bass. I've been fishing with a couple of guides, I even came in
second in an Orlando Bassmaster tournament, but I just can't seem to
catch bass in quantity. When I read posts on this site and in other
places it seems that it's common for people to be catching 50-60 fish
in one day! On the other hand I've been watching a show called "Angler
on Tour" and this guy, who is a pro bass fisherman, is only catching 3
or 4 fish a day. What's up with that? Do I just suck or is everyone
exaggerating?

P.S. In that Orlando tournament, the owner of the boat I was in came
in first!
