My largest Largemouth 5 1/2 lbs was caught on a chartreuse spinnerbait in the Cross RIver Reservoir NY.
My largest Smallie was caught last month in the New River, VA on a pumpkinseed berkely Gulp. I couldn't weigh it as i was wading in the river about 100 yards from the bank where my scale was but it measered about 17" from the tips of my fingers to the start of my bicep.
