Is there a particular depth that everyone is targeting with the A-rig there? Main lake points? Secondary points? Are people fishing a specific type of location for that? I am unfamiliar with the lake. Just awesome to see big bass consistently caught out there.

 

I don't know for sure, but the big increase in big fish is probably related to FF sonar helping locate off shore bass suspended seemingly not related to structure.  These bass have found a way to survive and thrive in a pelagic zone and have faced almost no pressure till now.

Targeting bottom structure in 20-25 fow from what I have read.

Word around town is that a majority of those catches are coming from a-rigs around main lake points where the big fish suspend on the top of the submerged trees.  Not sure about depth other than "top of trees".

Well, that concludes the 2022 Legacy season (January-March)... There were 24 legacy class catches submitted to the program compared to 23 in 2021! I know of a few other 13+lbs bass that were caught by a guide (Hill Country Hammer) but just never submitted to the program at O.H. Ivie in late march, so the season was actually better than what is documented

 

If we are to stay true to the title of this thread, we would now retire it until next year. I'm not opposed to starting a "Toyota Sharelunker: Legend Class Catches" though. Might be fun to keep track of the 13+lbs bass caught between April-December ?
