This is the sixth year I started this thread . I should look back at the other threads and tally them up . You can separate species if you want . Largemouth , spot or smallie .

 

This year it was a Stanley Ribbet  , 6.47 Lbs largemouth.

An H2O Xpress Ultimate Jerk Shad.  She was 6.72 pounds.  Largemouth, early February.

3/8oz Booyah Glow Blade spinnerbait, white with white double willow blades. 5.73lbs April 20.

Jawbone Spinnerbait, Willow/Colorado blades, 3/8oz, Yellow/Chartreuse skirt, 3" Pumpkin-Green Flake Berkley Chigger Craw trailer. LMB 3.94#, end of July (it's the one in my profile pic)

A lucky strike bass magic hollow body swimbait on a half ounce fish head Greg Vinson swimbait head. Weighed 5.8 lbs. Caught a 3+ lb spot on a drop shot berkley havoc bottom hopper too. 

Strike King Finesse Jig a brown and purple color.. Just a few ounces shy of 6lbs.

Nories Spoon Tail Shad 5"- 23 1/2" LM.

Beast Coast Miyagi-21 1/2" SM.

Dark Sleeper 3" 3/4oz-29" Walleye.

4 3/4 pound LMB. Same bank spot as above (PB runner up)

Biggest Green Bass totally destroyed a 6 in Storm Wild Eye Swim Shad.   

She was a gorgeous Mexican Bass and went 9.67 lbs. 

 

Biggest Brown Bass ate a Neg Rig, Green Pumpkin Big TRD.  She was a goby turd shy of 7 lbs.

A-Jay

Ned rig, the little one, New Money, 6-7 SMB.  New Money is mostly green.

 

Smallies like green. An acquaintance who does pretty well only takes one color to Lake St Clair, and it's of course. . . green.  My best tube color is usually green with red fleck, but last trip of the year a green with all sorts of colors of flecks worked best.

Zoom Baby Brush Hog. LMB around 4 pounds. Didn't catch any SMB big enough to even mention.

3/8 oz swim jig in Threadfin Shad color with a 3.8" Keitech paddletail.  Didn't weigh it, it was 22.25 inches.

Biggest " 5.9 LM " came on drop shot Roboworm.....people's worm.

Lost a much bigger fish on white double willow spinnerbait.

 

Smallies? eh, they hit anything around here. Lol

 

 

 

Lmb: double wide beaver, 6-10

Smb: spinnerbait, 3-6

Whopper Plopper 110. The bass was 7.92 lb. and a PB. I don't really know if it had anything to do with the bait as my last 2 PBs bit as soon as the bait hit water. It wasn't an explosion as you might imagine from a PB on a topwater. The bait just disappeared and I set the hook. It was July.

Rapala lipless crankbait, original Shad color.
