I just read the article on Lunker lore. A very interesting read. A fishy fish story to say the least, with maybe a little foul play thrown in there for good measure. I became intrigued when you mentioned that the record might be a little tall in the tale in another thread. 

I don't know Tom but 3 over 17 1 over 18 and 1 over 19 is a pretty impressive body of work. Who is the better angler? The guy that happens to catch the fish of his life or a guy who spends him time targeting giant fish and catching them?

I would rather hear what the latter guy has to say.

John, there are four places you need to fish to catch your monster:

 

1. A private pond that  has monsters in it.

2. Lakes on the Texas/Mexico border.

3. Florida for the big Florida strain bass.

4. California Delta.

 

Good luck.

Just about garantee a 5 lb+ at night from Castias during the summer. I am sure the same thing could be said for Toledo Bend summer nights. 

Summer days are dog days for good reasons, too hot during the day.

Look into Daytona Beach. 

Florida is still one of the best places in the US to target trophy largemouth bass. Any freshwater body of water in Florida has the potential of producing quality bass, due to the climate and the strain of largemouth found in the state.

Quote

Mackenzie Hickox caught her 15-pound, 12-ounce female Junior angler record from the shoreline of a man-made pond, not far from her house in Daytona Beach. Hickox, just 11-years-old at the time, was fishing a Strobe Spinner on May 8, 2006 with her parents, sister and a friend when she hooked into the massive bass.

Once landed, the fish was measured and weighed on a portable scale, which read an incredible 16 pounds. The fish was then released alive to grow even bigger.
