I catch a few 3-4lb smallies a year and have caught one that I am sure went 5lbs, but I didnt have a scale . I dont fish bass all that much so when I do get into some I am ushaly riged up for blue gills or pearch and I tend to brake off alot of the bigger fish.

Maybe I can up that number in July, that is when I plane to show all you bass guys how it is done.Lets just say I have an Ace up my sleeve [:-], and no its not a fish pond.
