PITBOSS

Caught my first snapper this year fishing a pit boss next to a fallen tree, got him close to shore, grabbed his tail and carried him to my truck where I used a jaw grabber and needle nose pliers to get the hook out, gave him to someone who likes to eat them, had just tied on a new hook and bait and didn't feel like giving it up.

This is more of a question, what artificial can I use in a pond that has 5 and six pound bass in it but they can only be caught on live bait, when we first fished it we could catch them on senkos and pitboss, we have tried about everything that looks like the bluegill that we use to catch them, we catch 1 to 3 lb. on artificial but not the big boys, the pond has very little fishing pressure

going to be in Tampa next week, would like to do some bass fishing, any suggestions on guides for the area??
