Do the records confirm that the biggest bass are caught in the winter? And then we have winter in PA and MI compared to winter in CA and FL. So what are the true stats? 

Man’s 12 month calendar doesn’t apply to bass it’s all about water temperature where the bass are located. Bass winter is when water temps drop below 50 degrees for FLMB and 45 for NLMB.
