Quanity or Quality

[Bigslugger]

Which would you rather have in a lake Quanity of fish or Quality of the fish?

[northernsportman]

quality for sure,

[Flakeoutdoorsguy]

quality hands down!

[RylFlsh85]

Without quantity of something you won't have quality of anything.

[Big Tom]

I like both. Seriously though, I have lakes I camp on just for the scenery and the ease of catching eaters. I also like to fish quality waters at the right times looking for the hawgs.

Good point Royal Flush.

[harvey lee]

Depending on the specie I'm targeting. Also depend if I'm looking for a fresh meal of fish.

For me

80%-quality

20% quantity

[Team Otter]

Quality.

[Flakeoutdoorsguy]

RylFlsh85- The only quanity of something that you need to make quality is bait fish for them to eat, and Possibly structure for them to hide from us fisherman. I have fished quite a few lakes that you dont catch very many fish but the ones you get make your day.

[Bluegill1510]

Both, no ifs, ands or buts.

[zepman]

I'm with Harvey on this one. 65/35 quality v quantity. Some days I just want to catch some fish to eat.

[Sybar]

im a pike hunter so quality is all me!!

[deadeye]

Im with harvey on that one 65/35.

[BobT]

A little of both.

I would be disappointed with the fishing experience fishing for walleyes and only catch one per year, even if that one was 17 pounds.

I would be just as disappointed catching thousands of walleyes if not one of them ever grew to more than 6" in length.

[Jim Almquist]

I like both and the way I accomplish this is by fishing multiple lakes.

[Sandmannd]

I too like both. For the most part I would like quality but there are times I just want to go out and pound fish all day and don't care if I get one that's a keeper.

[dan z]

quality comes with quantity sometimes I just like to see how many fish I can trick into biting. and when yor catchin your bound to catch a bigger than the run of the mill. fishing for a meal is just as rewarding as catching a wall hanger

[paceman]

It kinds of depends who I am fishing with. Fishing hard with the buddies I lean towards quality. Fishing with my little ones I lean toward quantity. Of course I won't complain about having both at the same time.

[Deitz Dittrich]

For me, it depends, if I havent been fishing in a while, I like quantity.. could care less how big they are, I just want action. But if I have been out a few times in the past few days, then I go piggie hunting.

[mrfish1991]

I just like catching fish so imma have to go with 85% quantity and 15% quality

[jwmiller33]

i like catching fish period. to me, when i go out fishing, i am happy as long as i am catching something. i would rather go out all day and catch a couple eaters rather than getting skunked. then again, i would always prefer catching more, larger fish, as i think every fisherman would. however, the reality of it, sometimes you dont catch as many and as big of fish as you would like. that is why i am happy whenever i am catching fish, regardless of size

[TruthWalleyes]

ya know sometimes i'm not even dissapointed not catching a fish, just enjoy the time out in nature.

[crothmeier]

a litte of both, ha in an ideal world. Depends if i have fish at home or not, and who i'm fishing with.

[muskielaw]

The funny thing is if you ask this same question concerning open water you will probably get different answers. What I mean by that is I find myself in my ice house catching dinky little sunnies and crappies for hours. The whole time I will have a huge smile on my face. You get me in the summer and I wouldn't spend two seconds sitting on my dock catching the dinky little stunted sunnies. Either way I love being on the water soft or hard and the goal is always to pull in the big one but I still enjoy catching quantities to keep me busy. For some reason I always seem to catch the bigs ones when I am targeting the little guys. Go figure!

[FISHINGURU]

quality forsure....i'd rather get skunked all season and slam a 17lb eye then catch 20 dinks or average fish everytime i go out.

sometimes quanity hurts quality...if theres to many fish in the system and not enough food to support it you'll end up with tons of little fish and they'll never get big and produce quality...you just end up with mediocre size fish that will bite on anything.

[marine_man]

One lake / fishing spot with each?

I'd say 65% quantity, 35% quality...

That said, going to lake of the woods I'm after quantity, a little quality mixed in isn't a bad thing though.

When I go to Selkirk on the Red River 100% quality. I know I'm probably not going to catch many fish, but 1 10lb Walleye makes the weekend worthwhile in a hurry.
