Shockwave Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I caught my personal best LMB last week. I thought it was interesting because I had 5 rods on the deck. I had a jig, 10 inch thumper worm on a Carolina Rig, deep diving crankbait, bronzeye frog, and t-rigged Rage craw all tied on. I thought I'd get the larger fish on the C-rig fishing deep because that was the pattern that day but I ended up catching my PB (6.8lb, 22 in.) on the Rage Craw pitching to docks after the C-rig bite slowed down. That's my confidence bait. That got me to wondering what others have caught their PB on. Quote

Jon G Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 A 3.5 inch tube with a 3/16oz tube jig head. I still think fishing a tube is boring. 3 Quote

Super User Senko lover Posted July 13, 2015 Super User Posted July 13, 2015 Yum Wollee Bullee in Black/Red Flake. Ironically, the first soft plastic bait I had ever bought. Used them a couple of times, didn't care for them. Pulled them out about a year later, and BOOM! Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted July 13, 2015 Super User Posted July 13, 2015 1.5 Silent Square Bill in a basic shad pattern. Those 1.5 Silent baits really do well around here all year, but especially in the spring and fall, mostly die to the bass keying on shad movement at those times. 9/10 times with those its a feeding strike, then in the summer time i go to a 2.5 or larger bait and bump it off cover or use a noisy bait to get reaction strikes. Sorry for writing a book lol Quote
Ishmael Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Not absolutely sure which fish was bigger, but it is either a Pearl White Zoom Superfluke, or a 6th Sense Crush 300DD in Live Baby Bluegill. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted July 13, 2015 Super User Posted July 13, 2015 Largemouth (US): 5.1 pounds - DT10 custom painted craw Smallmouth (US): 20" (no weight) - Tube Largemouth (CAD): 22" (no weight) - chart/white spinnerbait Smallmouth (CAD): 21.75" (no weight) - Skitter Pop frog I like to count Canada as totally different because the fishing up there is totally different from the heavily pressured waters around here in western PA. 1 Quote

Super User Deleted account Posted July 13, 2015 Super User Posted July 13, 2015 4" black w/blue fleck senko, T-rigged weightless 8 lb trilene xl, 6' med spinning rod (wife's outfit). Didn't get an official weight, but it measured 27 1/2 x 20. I've caught a few fish close to 10 lbs before and this thing dwarfed them. But no picture so it didn't happen... Quote

herruberraschen Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 An odd bait that I don't think was around very long. A Yum Big Show Paddle Worm. I think it was touted as a Terry Scroggins design. Quote
Shockwave Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 Seems like a good mix of stuff like I expected but I do see a good amount of folks having success with senkos. 4" black w/blue fleck senko, T-rigged weightless 8 lb trilene xl, 6' med spinning rod (wife's outfit).Didn't get an official weight, but it measured 27 1/2 x 20. I've caught a few fish close to 10 lbs before and this thing dwarfed them. But no picture so it didn't happen... Just to make sure I follow the "no pic so if didn't happen" rule, here's a pic of my PB. I WISH we could see 10 pounders like that but we just don't see fish like that all that often up here. The state record is 11lbs and change. 5 Quote
