Well - it seems as though there are some huge bass all over the country. Thanks for the replies and I hope the post keeps going

If you like, add your favorite bait. Here - I use Yamamotos Cinco's, Kreatures and Stretch O's weedless and weightless; ZoomBrush Hogs, Ribbon Tailed Worms, and Lizardson a carolina rig; andoccasionaly drop shot finese worms - almost exclusively in Watermellon Black Flake or Green Pumpkin for all of the above.
