Congratulations on doing well in that tournament. When it comes to catching big bass it is always plastic worms, topwaters and live bait are what gets them every time for me. My top two pb bass weighed in at 14-2 and 13-1. The 14-2 was caught on a Zara Spook at Lake LBJ and the 13-1 was caught on a 7" Berkley Powerbait auger-tail plastic worm at Stillhouse Hollow Lake. Both of these lakes are located in central Texas. I have a total of 12 big bass to my name that are all at least 10 pounds or better throughout the years. Nine were caught in central Texas on various lakes and one of those nine bass came out of a small hill country river. As for the other three big bass, one was caught in Georgia on the Chattahoochee River near Fort Benning, one in southeast Indiana at Brookville Lake and one in southwest Ohio at Acton Lake.

@@thecreekcrawler Double digit bass are very rare anywhere north of Tennessee but they are definitely around if you do enough fishing, know what you are doing and have a little bit of luck. I have personally seen one caught in southern Michigan that was nearly 12 lbs many years ago when I was a little boy. Here's a little food for thought... Nearabouts every big bass that I've caught or seen caught anywhere north of Tennessee was taken on big live baits or on large artificials while fishing for something else such as striped bass, muskies or pike. I also know that most decent bodies of water south of a line from near NYC to Detroit on over to southern Minnesota will have at least a few bass over 10 lbs. In addition to most lakes, this also includes areas like farm ponds, gravel pits, rivers and creeks. As for Brookville and Acton Lakes, there are more big bass in those two lakes than you can shake a stick at.

Not keen on that, so was wondering if there is a way to prevent that, or is it just the nature of the beast in pedal drive kayaks ? *I work in Cincinnati, if I go to strictly sail and tell them you sent me, how do I make sure you get credit for the sale ?
