Thank ya sir. Wish I would've have a scale with me. I'm not good at judging weights. Care to give a guess?

Do you have an idea as to length or girth?  If so you can get a decent estimate using the calculator.

You can always fudge your numbers in your favor ... LOL

I'd start the day with a reaction bait like a white spinnerbaits or a rattle trap if you get there early, try a top water! if the fish are active, they should be hitting those baits. If nothing, switch over to a jig and a Senko. Those should get bit. Good luck!

All depends on the water color and temp. I caught them one day last week on a white SB and three days later, I couldn't buy a bite on a SB. The water was choc milk. I caught a few on a craw colored rattle trap. Just play the conditions. People say, Zman Chatterbaits work really good this time of year also. I bought a few at www.bigbassusa.com for like $6 a piece.

Oh yeah that's a big fish! I haven't caught many larger sized bass, so I'm not gonna take a guess. Congrats!
