you guys have got to be kidding!!!if you went to italy and ate pasta untill you weighed 3000 lbs. shouldn't you count as the world's fattest human?as far as i know largemouth bass were stocked in plenty of states.they are bass that just happen to have a different forage than most.all reservoir fish are stocked when reservoirs are impounded.state fish and game departments decide what to stock and not stock.so what if california happened to do a better job than anybody else.if one of you guys went to california and caught the new world record bass you would be singing a different tune.

they both have their place in your arsenal.you can't say one or the other.to start i would buy a 3/8 white double willow spinnerbait.a 3/8 black single colorado spinnerbait.a 1/2 oz.rattlin rapala in shad pattern.a set of 3 crank baits in shad pattern.1 shallow,1 medium(8ft) and 1 deep(14 ft). you can take it from there but that would get you started.

a junebug 5 inch senko.a rattlin rapala shad pattern 1/2 0z.a black buzzbait 3/8 oz. with a clacker.

senko,rattlin rapala in 1/2 oz. shad pattern,white spinnerbaits and black buzzbaits.
