You’re not a very optimistic fella are you?

Tons of 10lbr’s just start carp fishing. Just kidding I’m sure there’s some farm ponds with some big fish.

That sounds more like realistic over optimistic

There's a difference between optimism and self-delusion.       jj

Nope I’m sure they are there if we can get the occasional 8 lb bass in Wisconsin I’m sure that Ohio has its fair share of 10s. I’m sure no one is going to say where but I’m sure there there.

I'm sure you're aware on how to use Google. There's been a few caught /w specifics as to locations.

Well not just those that live here, but those that have at least been here and know the fisheries. If you’ve never been to Ohio how would you know what’s here and where?

Start throwing big baits I throw big swimbaits here in Wisconsin. Sure my buddies catch more fish but I catch significant bigger fish sometimes I won’t get a bite for a week or two but I get the big fish to show them self. Give it a try but have patience and stick with it.

Because I know how to use a basic search engine.....there's been 10# LM caught in the past couple years and it even gives exact locations...

 

I've Been to Ohio. Once was enough.

That’s what I plan to do this spring. I just received a bunch of 7.8 Keitechs

Get yourself a big glide bait you don’t have to spend a fortune a S waver 200 will draw the fish in don't plan on catching them all but you will get some heart breaking follows.

The Ohio state record largemouth bass is 13.13 pounds and was caught in the year 1976. This means there have been documented catches of bass 10 pounds or bigger in Ohio. Very few people are going to tell you where they catch big bass so the best thing you can do is put your time on the water and use techniques known for catching big bass if your goal is to catch more big bass.

Yea, there are a few double digits lurking here in private farm ponds for sure and there are a lot of them. Some people catch 5 pounders and take them home to their private ponds and feed the heck out of them for years.

 

The biggest Smallmouth ever caught in Lake Erie was close at 9.5 lbs.
