| Both. I'm tied for PB length fish with both casting and trolling. Weight? I dunno. Using the calculations, both were similar in weight...probably within a mere few of pounds of each other. |

| Trolling, but I cast more than troll. |

| we have miles of productive waters here in canada making trolling a must in the arsenal, that said i still mainly cast, i started this post because i caught my 2 PB's trolling, (length, don't weight fish ), which i found strange . i'm glad to see it's a mixed bag for everyone. looking forward to wetting a few new baits in a few new spots this summer,

| My PB in Wisconsin was caught trolling. I cast and troll about equally in the WI waters I fish.
My overall PB was caught casting in Canada, where I cast 99.9% of the time during the summer...and its about 50/50 in Canada in the fall. |

| 6 fish over 50" and five have been caught dragging a sucker and the other was caught trolling after dark in July. I only drag suckers in the months of October and November. I would be interested in hearing if the guides who drag meat in the Fall catch most all of their biggest fish in this manner. |
