I recently moved to NC from Ohio. I'm still trying to find some good fishing spots down here. My friend and I heard about a pond and decided we'd check it out... boy are we glad we did. :-)

We go there at least once a week. He had caught a 7 lb. largemouth there last week. Last night I caught a 4.5 lber and a big bowfin.

I caught both on a lure that I had to order because they don't sell them down here! They were caught on a K&E Bass Stopper Magnum pre-rigged 3-hook weedless, chartreuse with a black stripe.

I was a little shocked when I couldn't find them for sale anywhere down here. I ordered 3 of the chartreuse and 3 black with white stripe... I think I need to order a few more :-)

Here's the bow fin... my profile pic is from the same pond

Nice fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice.

I moved to Missouri from nw West Virginia. I am shocked at how regional lures are. Order plenty and keep it a local secret.

Nice fish!

Regarding regional lures...NOT!

Bass are the same everywhere.

I think he means that lure popularity can be very regional, not their effectiveness.

Great looking fish!!!!

Great fish. I love finding a new place to fish.

I have never heard of that lure before.

It seems not too many people south of Ohio have heard of them... but I know several bass fisherman, myself included, that swear by them.  I've probably caught more fish on them than anything else I've ever thrown in the water.

I'm the friend that goes down to the secret pond with him.  He had been talking about these lures for a long time and finally got ahold of them this week.  They did pretty good for him... not as good as my trick sticks though  .

But yeah, it's a regional thing regarding where he can find em.  We looked everywhere around here.  He ended up getting them shipped down here.  Looks like it was a good move for him.

Those are some nice looking fish.  Do you have a pick of the 7 pounder?  How about a picture of the bait?

It's the fish pictured in my avatar.  Funny faces for the *** Tourney it helped me win.  Here is the topic for it.

Actually just under 7lbs, but who is counting :. I caught it with a 5" Green/Chartreuse Laminate ***.
