Let's see if we can stop kicking each others bass and get OroBass numeral uno, he lives in big bass country.

He needs the proper rod/ reel, line for the lure or bait of choice. Don't recall if he is shore bound or has access to a boat, makes a big difference in where and how to fish.

You can't be everywhere at the same time, need to pick a lake or 2 and focus there for the next 6 mouths, that should get results.

I suggest a good 5 power 7' -7'4" jig/worm rod with 16# FC Sunline Super Sniper or equal line for the lakes, 65# braid for the delta.

7'10 to 8' heavy swimbait rod with 25 # Sunline Diefer mono or equal line for swim and wake baits.

Lures; 3/8, 1/2 and 3/4 oz living rubber jigs in brown/purple day time, black/ blue nights. Trailers, your choice in crawdad colors or neon blue high liters.

Lakes, 8" to 12" trout swimbaits, both hard and soft and 4-5" body Rat and 5" hard bluegill wake bait.

9" to 13" Upton's Custom Dragon tail worms purple and dark brown with blue neon vain.

That should do it. Target areas with deep water access like major points.

HA HA HA , aint that the truth!

WOW Catt you caught that many DD"S That's impressive. You must have many pictures of them. Why don't you share all the pics of those and any share a lunker certificates you have to.

To consistently catch big bass you need to stop fishing for small bass and lean the habits of the big bass in your lakes. Already a lot of good advise in this thread like doing your home work and fishing the lakes that have RECENTLY produced big bass. Another very helpful resource is the local biologist. Call them and have a bunch of questions ready. Ask them where and how many but also ask them what the big bass in your area eat and try to match their prey. Also ask them about how the act differently throughout the year. especially if they change prey species. The idea is to match what the big bass are eating when and where they are eating it. I know that sounds obvious but a lot of guys miss it. Don't use a 5 in trout colored jerk bait when bass are eating 10 inch trout. Don't use a big silver senko when bass are eating hitch. Use a bait that looks like the prey species. It should be around the same size. Use these baits when bass are feeding on those prey species and of course where they are feeding and you will increase your odds. Consistently catching big bass is all about stacking the odds in your favor. Do enough things right and you will catch them. The more things you do wrong, the less big bass you will catch. Small bass make a lot of mistakes so try and think of them as a separate species and it will get easier.

I caught a 9.4 this morning on a jerkbait and its not really cold enough for it here yet so I thought

[deep]

Good job.

[Mattlures]

Mad basser, congrats that's a great bass!

Hey Deep ! Are back in the states? You fishing again yet?

[deep]

Yes Sir. Not doing much catching though. Fishing for snakeheads and catfish got a little boring, so I decided to come back and try for some bass!
