Hey guys, I know there's been discussion here before about the next world record smallmouth coming out of Dale, etc...anyway's, I recently read an article on a site called www.tnangle.com

Apparently there is a guide down there somewhere named Robert Reagan...according to Mr. Reagan, he seems to think the next world record smallmouth will come out of deeper waters. He goes on to say that he feels in order to catch the really big hogs you have to go out in the middle of the lake, that the REALLY big one's don't move up on the shallower banks. He also talks about using larger baits too, such as 9/16 ounce jigs, 1/2 ounce spinner baits, big Poe's 400 series crank baits, 10" worms, etc...

I know lots of you have caught some real nice smallmouth on the float-n-fly, etc...but what do you all think about the larger bait/open water idea that guide Robert Reagan mentions? He also prefers night time fishing over day time...
