That's what everyone says so far the best I've seen a new guy do is four on his first night it's no where near as easy as it looks as for bass in the nets if you run one across a river and get a couple guys to walk fish down to it you get what ever hits it I've heard old timers talk about filling up 50 and 60 burlap sack with fish on a weekly basis if you ever want to give gigging a try my boat is open all season
