Food Chain. I had 100% more fun catching bait than catching the actual species (Black Crappie, LMB and Rock Bass). I caught dozens of shiners and small chubs from a culvert. I would unhook the minnow from the tango hook I was catching them with then retook them with a sz 8 circle hook. I had some of the hottest rock bass fishing ever with this set-up. I also kept upsizing my LMB each time I caught a larger one. I caught in the neighborhood of 25 LMB on live bait over a three day period!
