LOL Marty. I suppose even if you called me seven or eight times I would go to the dance with you

Maybe you guys should also add getting ready and travel time to your hours per fish? Or how about the time you spend on this board researching...I'm guessing some of you are in the thousands of hours per fish then!

Hours per fish ? I don't know, and I don't care.
What really counts -
is the hours per outing and the memories I share with my partners -
in the pursuit of a fish

I'm with da Junkman (Marty) on this - best metric is the local tournament scene results and fishing is tough.

I keep an eye on Maryland largemouth reservoir fishing tournaments. Last tournament on a solid bass lake, 30 teams of 2 x 8 hours = 480 angler hours. Biggest largemouth, 3.82 lbs.

I have no idea on hours per fish... probably don't want to think about that too much either!

In the spring I generally concentrate on quality action from the postspawn females and in the late fall I prefer to fish big water for the queen of the lake.
Some destinations (actually it's more of a time of the year thing) I expect to have action from several fish everyday, while other places (super low density) I let the clutch out knowing that I'm optimistically fishing for one bite every three or four days... and will most likely get completely skunked.

Far and away the least amount of hours per fish for me was when I use to fish from shore below dams after the Wisconsin open.
