Mine was a 8.5lb largemouth on a private 25 acre watershed lake, down around rough river, hit a white spinnerbait in early spring around the drain pipe. I know this is kind of cheating since it was private and nobody else fished in it, but man was it fun, she was full of eggs, and beautiful, didnt have a camera, so I measure her, weighed her, and threw her back. Got a fiberglass replica mad at Mike's taxidermist, and it looks great. Really glad I didnt kill her, cause I know she is still there making more big babies.

My best largemouth was a 6 lb 2 oz largemouth at Laurel Lake (believe it or not!) Caught among standing timber on a Sammy in early Spring. It was the last fish caught during the best trip my partner and I have ever had at Laurel. We fished from about 4:30 until dark and had 5 keeper smallmouth (a couple went 4lbs +), 4 nice walleye, and the big largemouth. All the other fish were caught on 3-blade spinnerbaits. Don't know if we'll ever do that good at Laurel again!
Best smallmouth was 5.5 lbs at Cumberland on the Sweet Beaver.

11.2 LM at Lake El Salto Mexico on a 3/4 oz Rat L Trap. Also caught a 10.2 and two 9's at El Salto... OK, some say that's cheatin'. My personal best this side of the border is an 8 pounder from a semi private lake. Caught on a 4" bluegill colored tube.
