in a tournament i had 34 pounds 15 ounces. i had first big fish @ 8.6 and i had 2nd big fish with 7.15. i doubt i will ever duplicate that weight in a tourney, but man what a great day that was. every fish was caught on topwater.

Country location is everything:

26 July 2004: My son Scott and myself -

This morning we called Don Willis to see if he wanted to share the boat but he was off for a trip to the doctor's. "Yippee" said Scott, "the fish are going to bite today." We headed out at daybreak to the Marsh and baited up with Senkos. Bass proceeded to jump into the boat:

1st lunker of the day - 8 pounds - off the grass with a Senko - purple

2nd lunker of the day - 7 pounds - off the grass with a Senko - cinnamon

3rd lunker of the day - 11 pounds - off the grass - watermelon 7X cut tail

4th lunker of the day - 13 pounds - 27.5 X 19.5 - off the grass - red Senko

5th lunker of the day - 7 pounds - off the grass with a purple 7X cut tail

I've had three days in 13 years where customers had 5 or more over 10, with two of those trips occuring within 2 days of each other. It's a rare occurence however based on the number of trips that I have done over that time span.

This going to have a lot more to do with location, as the biggest bags from Maine will invariably smaller than the biggest bags from So Cal. or elsewhere.

My biggest "5-fish bag" was rec. fishing for LMB in a small bay off Lake Ontario.  23 lbs., including this 6-2 lunker.  All on a jig .

Hmmmmmmmm.....I used to limit myself to one sixpack, two shots of tequilla, and a huge (deleted).

Now my limit is much much lower.

Oh,.....you mean bass?

OK....22lbs.

Those are some nice sacs guys... that doesn't sound right.  Biggest bag was 27lbs some odd ounces all on deep cranks.  Of course it was fun fishing.  Even if there was a tounry that day I would have only had 14 pounds or so.  All the big girls bit between 3 and 5 pm.
