The best idea I have is looking at the asker's profile, picking a random answer they posted, and give a bounty to that. Is there a better way?

OK This is what I'm thinking: If I see a user asking a great question, I want to quickly reward this guy/girl with more privileges by giving them tons of rep. Is this a bad idea? Why?
