When I was a kid, my brother and I would snag carp at the local pond with inline spinners. Try doing that in muddy water where you can't see the fish and you're only going by bubbles, puffs of mud, and the boils from their tails. That takes skill!  |
They say that some guys especially fly fishermen can and do get the fish to hit in a legit fashion with streamers and other flashy lures, probably be pissing them off.. I have no doubts thats true, but for most fishermen the general consensus is, "if you don't snag them, you don't catch them".
