JoshKeller, your avitar has a bass that is what, 10lbs. plus? Do you strive to catch the big bass or just any bass? If you strived to just catch anything, you wouldn't have put a fish on your avitar that most people would never catch, let alone, see. There are many of us who practice QDM and like I say take what makes you happy. By the look of your avitar, your fish would be a Boone & Crockett by deer standards.
