World Record...your guess

[Danny]

I'm with the majority of the other posters, look to the west young man. California is the place to be....

They have the procedures, including trout stocking to feed their Florida Strain Largemouths to reach their full potential, plus they also have the extended growing season.

As for lure, I'd look for either a really big tube bait or a jig on the bed. I think the fish will have to be caught during the spawn to be of full weight.

I love catching those really biggun's but if I had my choice, fishing all day for one 25 lber, or fishing all day and catching 12 2.5 lbers, I'll take the latter. Of course I won't make a million dollars off my day, but I will have a lot of fun.

PS, great subject.

California

California on either a big swim bait or live bait.

BTW, I bought that book not long after it came out. Are those guys out there nuts or what? Some of them have ruined their lives just chasing after that record.

I agree with California as well, Heck just think how much money that fish will be worth if someone does catch the big ole girl... Bet the guys who were fishing for that bog girl last year that was foul hooked. Will be looking for her again this year...I bet the guy won't leave the area this time if he spots her first this time.... I wouldn't for sure.....
