Man! I tell ya, when I get to thinking seriously about adding live scope to my rig then I run across a post like this and it makes me change my mind. Ive always said that I catch all the fish me and my family wants to eat (sometimes 3 or 4, but mostly me and the wife) and I like long lining for 'em. To me that's the lazy way to catch fish and early spring until hot summer I catch plenty. With my age and health I dont particularly care to get out in the winter cold nor the hot summer anymore so up until now Ive been avoiding live scope. BTW, I have heard of a person here in my town that fishes live scope and brings home a limit of crappie to sale almost every trip he makes.(It used to be white perch but now it's crappie.) Cant prove it though.
