[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 381192, member: 337"] I'm trying to figure out how anyone can compare a pitch bite (thump, whump, bang, jolt) to the sluggish "ooh, is that a snag?... no, might be a fish?.... oh, nice one I guess" typical of bottom bouncer strikes and fights. What I enjoy about pitching for eyes: 1. The engagement ("hunting" for where to pitch) - often in < 5 fow. 2. The jolting strike or thump, oftentimes quite shocking 3. Occasionally treated to seeing a follow by a nice walleye or two 4. The very lively fight - where you're directly engaged with the fish on light line/rod. (compared to dragging one in that's hooked up to a 3 oz weight on a medium heavy goober rod) I don't drink alcohol while I fish - maybe that's the secret to enjoying BBing more? [/QUOTE]
