Do you prefer quality or quantity?

[ET Fish]

The jury is still out for me, but in a perfect world I would prefer a quantity of quality fish! We got in a short trip yesterday afternoon, and my infrequent trips require a lot of hunting. We didn’t load the boat, but we caught some quality fish for these parts.
Water temps ranged from 64-66, and we stayed in water 18 ft plus, hunting new brush as well as fishing waypoints. Some fish were relatively shallow while others were relatively deep. I set a new personal best with this guy.

I don’t think I’ve ever caught a fish this small on a #2 hook with a 2” plastic!
My wife continued her quality fish run, which once again included a T.A.R.P. White Crappie!

She kept it going, as usual!

The new time really shortens the trip, as the sun was setting just after 5:30. Beautiful day, but that is changing for the next week or so. We did catch several under 10 inches, but kept 4 nice ones for a meal. Several lures caught fish, but a dark/light contrast seemed to be preferred.

So, which do you prefer? Quality or quantity?
