How important is a big bite?

A lot of the focus this week is on getting one or two “big bites”. These are bass bigger than 5- pounds. And they become increasingly important on lakes where solid 3- pounders aren’t that abundant. 

But just how important are these big bites? Look no further than Steve Kennedy who currently sits in 6th with 14-6. Nearly half is weight is in one fish, the current Phoenix Boats Big Bass leader of 7-2.
