Speaking of cucumbers...

Okay, all you cuke experts out there, hope you don't mind indulging yet another curcurbit question. I picked my first cuke tonight (sweet burpless hybrid). Much to my disappointment, it was completely inedible, so bitter I had to spit it out. I did some sniffing around, and one site I read said that once a cucumber plant puts out a bitter cuke, to just yank it up because that's all it's going to produce for the rest of the season. Is that true? I hate to pull it, I only have two plants.
