Ah, even though you already know, my biggest and smallest bass (hey, I've only caught two...) were both caught on watermelon senkos. Get a flats-fisher in a bass boat and you have to laugh. Cast waaaay up into some cow pasture, tangle up in a bunch of grass, hop across a few lilypads, finally hit the water, let it sink a bit, and WHAM!! The bigger of the two was guessed (by a couple guys who would know) to be six and a half pounds or so... was about 22 inches long, nice fish if I do say so myself.

I caught an 8lb bass in late Feb. in northern Louisiana, where I live, on a 7inch Zoom red shad worm . I was fishing on the bank of a one acre cow pasture pond that has been there for ages. Texas rigged, and fished real slow. This large female was full of eggs. After I landed the hoss, I put her in an ice chest with no lid. About 10 minutes later, I was looking across the pasture and noticed a dog had robbed my prize and was scatting across the plain. Finally, after many mintues of trying to coax this thieving varmit into letting go, I was again reunited with my catch. Although my dreams of wall mounting this rarity were shattered, it still fed quite nicely!

A Texas ridged 7" purple worm. I was bouncing it along the bottom from a boat in about a 100 acre lake. We were fishing over a ridge line that ran along the side of the lake, it was in about 8 ft. of water, muddy and slightly rocky bottom. It was 6.7 lbs. I know its not that big of a fish, but the waters we fished for all our largemouth had Numbers not size. I did catch many largemouth on the same lake in the 5-6 lb. range on spinnerbaits.

My personal best or bests were two fish around seven pounds. The first was on a small shiner fished under a bobber in a farm pond in the southern tier of western new york. The second I caught yesterday on a scum frog, I noticed the fish were jumping and feeding right on the surfaceso i tossed a scum frog above a weed bed and twitched it a little before the water exploded underneath it.

My son caught a nice bass 13.4lbs on a X-Rap fishing 3 days after last X-Mas at Fork. We were cranking ledges in 14 ft water. 7' G loomis, Team Daiwa baitcaster with 14lb XT. I lipped the bass because his hands were full.
Here is my son and me presenting his fish to Budweiser Share A Lunker Program.

I caught a 5 and 1/2 pounder on a berkley Powerbait. I was actually suprised because they normally suck and dnot catch anything around where i live. I also caught a big one on a Rapala floater.

I used a 6" pumpkinseed senko into a timber area and let it fall 'naturally'. He wasn't a huge one - 20"
