Zara Spook for me . The only 6 lber of the year .

Strike King Tour Grade 3/4oz double willow spinnerbait.  Came late October. Got a few at the same weight but this one had the length to beat them out. 5lb 1oz and d**n near 21” long. I could feel a 6” perch or golden shiner in its belly. First year in many that I didn’t get one over 21”. Size was definitely down a tick this year. But the amount of bass I catch all at that 5lb even or 5lb 1oz mark is ridiculous. It seems that in order to go up in weight I have to jump right into the 6lb class. 

My largest was a 4-1/4 largemouth that hit a 1/4 ounce, double Colorado bladed spinnerbait.

5” black senko pond fish 6.8lbs NC

Modified Zorro Short Arm Aggravator. 6.21lbs NY. I count this one as larger, because of region and the body of water. The pond above is just a little too easy for 5-6lbers

Strike King Bitsy Bug.  She picked it up out of a brush pile in 12' and I just felt mush.  23½", I didn't weigh her.

Green pumpkin Arkie 3/8oz jig with a watermelon red Yum wooly bug trailer. A close second was a Florida bass Heddon Super Spook Jr.

I bought my son a pack of Xzone 3" Ned Zone worms. He caught one bass that was exactly 5 LB in a local lake and a few days later caught another that was 5 lb 1 oz and a big gill at my buddy's pond.  

 

All were caught on the same worm. I guess we'll be ordering more.

Caught a 6 pounder on a 5" senko the color was green pumpkin with purple and green fleck. This color has moved into 2nd place right behind my other personal favorite black with blue fleck.

Academy house brand H2O Xpress Ultimate Jerk Shad in the crackle color caught me a healthy Florida giant on February 11th just after 4PM. She went 10lb 9oz, my first double digit and current PB.

Ditto, mine was 5.8lbs

My 8-pounder technically came in 2021, on the last day of the year and less than 24 hrs before 2022, so a 7-pounder gets the honors. It came on a Ned rig using a Roboworm Ned Worm.

@Kyle S, is All Black the name of the color?   That's just an awesome name if that's the case.
