I just read the article on Lunker lore. A very interesting read. A fishy fish story to say the least, with maybe a little foul play thrown in there for good measure. I became intrigued when you mentioned that the record might be a little tall in the tale in another thread. 

I don't know Tom but 3 over 17 1 over 18 and 1 over 19 is a pretty impressive body of work. Who is the better angler? The guy that happens to catch the fish of his life or a guy who spends him time targeting giant fish and catching them?

I would rather hear what the latter guy has to say. 

John, there are four places you need to fish to catch your monster:

 

1. A private pond that  has monsters in it.

2. Lakes on the Texas/Mexico border.

3. Florida for the big Florida strain bass.

4. California Delta.

 

Good luck.

This map has a few marked.

 

...this one, too.  Top, left center:

 

Just about garantee a 5 lb+ at night from Castias during the summer. I am sure the same thing could be said for Toledo Bend summer nights. 

Summer days are dog days for good reasons, too hot during the day.
