I was born in san jose california grew up in california till i was 14. And moved all across the northern half of california caught lots of largemouths growing up. Started fishing at age 6 am now 25 and still fishing! I currently live in spokane washington. And have for the last 11 years. What a difference my personal best largemouth was 9lbs in california from coyote res caught on a double buzz bait back when i was a kid and my personal best since i have been in spokane was a 5.59 bass caught from here. Hoping to get one that nice up here someday. As for small mouth biggest i caught was a 3lb,er i dojt go after smallies to much but im starting to get more into them
