Zoom 6" brush hog in watermelon candy. 7 lb. 2 oz., May 23, Truman Lake.

#7 shad rap... No I did not catch it when you're supposed to use them in March when the water was 45 degrees or in December when everything was slowing down, I caught the darn thing in the middle of the day in July. (not complaining)

I'm personally happy to report that it was a Prism Gill colored Duo Realis Spinbait 80

KVD Sexy Shad Tandem Spinnerbait (6.5 lbs)

5.25 lb (my pb) on a Strike King "Banshee" (DSG brand) 1/2 oz buzzbait in bluegill, warm late October evening - just at the transition from dusk to dark. 

The biggest bass on our small local ponds were all caught on Banshee buzzbaits in chartreuse and bluegill. The second best fish smashed a Chartreuse Banshee burned across flat water under bluebird skies at 3 pm on a hot September afternoon.
