Well, my PB record was shattered yesterday morning when I weighed in a 5 pound, 10 ounce LMB. Different dead tree in the middle of the same stretch of water... a few hundred yards downstream from last week’s PB.

Same time of day, Same rig - Zoom Magnum finesse worm in Watermelon Candy fished weightless, Texposed, on a Gamakatsu 3/0 EWG worm hook, 11 foot 15# Seaguar red label fluoro leader on Berkley Fireline Crystal, 15# running line. Same lack of camera. I hunted down my old digital, charged it up and tucked it into the bag. Now it’s there for each trip, even if, as I did yesterday, I’m only heading out for an hour or so of fishing on the boat.

After that, I’ve resolved never to go out fishing without a camera tucked into the bag. 
I don’t have a smartphone, so, it’s a small point-n-shoot digital camera. I did catch one yesterday evening but it was only 3#6oz. So... not photo worthy even though I did have the camera. 
Good fight on that one though... it took a Zoom Super Fluke Jr. I was fishing weightless on light line on my Loomis 5’4” Mag-Light rod. Heck of a tussle getting him in the boat... and he was a jumper, too

Congrats. Weightless Zoom worm is also my fav

In my experience their magnum finesse worms seem every bit as irresistible to LMB as Yamamoto Senkos but they’re less expensive and a lot more durable. 
It’s kind of surprising as they don’t seem to have as much action... but I’ve taken lots of good bass on them since last summer.

@Swamp Yankee:  Just thought I’d say, “Amen,” to your recommendation of the Zoom Magnum Finesse worms.  With limited space on my kayak, I typically carry only Senkos, Magnum Finesse worms, and Biospawn Exosticks.  If I can’t get a strike on one of those I figure it’s time to switch to something other than a worm. (I can think of other worms that probably would work but I stick with these.)
