Like deer hunting!You always wanted that 10 pointer and after putting in your time it happened!It's a never ending goal!Fish early and late. Fish lakes known for 3 lb. fish.And use larger baits!I've never caught a 3 yet but that is my thoughts on how I would better my chances on a 3.There was a man that fished Butla out of a old ski boat with a seat mounted up front! He fished bass size foxy jigs and just about always would have several 3"s in his cooler.Big fish was all he fished for!
