Looks "familiar".

I think I can fish that lake efficiently and catch some big mommas, what do you think ?

Do not fooled into believing Texas anglers don't throw swim baits!

What I said was none has produced a Sharelunker bass of 13+ lbs!

The Texas state record was caught on a 3" shinner not a crappie jig.

The point is not which bait produces the biggest bass but where you put that bait.

The OP knows where the bass are he just needs to be on the water when big momma wants to bite.

I'm not saying nobody throws swimbaits, but how many thousands of casts do you think are made with "normal" sized baits in Texas for every one with a big bait?  It's not a fair comparison.

More speeding tickets are given out to Volkswagen's than Lamborghini's in a given year, does that mean Volkswagen's are faster? lol

I agree 100% that location is by far the most important piece of the puzzle, but there's a reason why most dedicated trophy hunters have a place for big baits in their arsenal.

Texans are very good bass anglers because they have lots of good bass lakes to fish.

Being Californian I can boast about the fact big swimbaits for originated here, that doesn't mean we are better bass anglers per capita than Texans as much as I hate to admit that.

A friend of mine was guiding at El Salto a decade ago and was surprised that his Texas clients came do to fish using west coast made state of the art big swimbaits.

There is a list of Pro Anglers who moved from California to Texas bringing with the flipping/pitching & swimbaits.

Almost every Japanese Pro angler lives inTexas & they are pretty good with swimbaits & a dropshots.
