@sunsporter1649 WOW.. I've NEVER caught anything that big.. The lakes around here are full of large mouth and small mouth bass... My technique is just not as good as yours.. I use a spinner real and mostly surface gig baits... Frogs in the lily pads...
@polyandrym66 I have a bad shoulder which restricts my casting, so that is the reason I mainly bottom fish with plastic worms. And I do not catch one like that often, but often enough to keep me going back.
@sunsporter1649 Sorry to hear about your shoulder problems.. It is true that the way I fish is a LOT of casting, and with a long rod, it is noticeable.. But I like seeing the fish launch at my lures on the surface... I can only fish (comfortably) 3 months a year..
