Of the bass we have in Ohio (smallies, spots, and largemouth), I easily rank largemouth as my least favorite. But, catching a big one with a mouth big enough to chomp a softball is pretty cool.
This fish's head was massive, but its body was skinny.
I was testing a new craw fly I came up with. Testing has gone really well with it, obviously.

That fish should’ve be close to 6lbs in a normal body of water….Of the bass we have in Ohio (smallies, spots, and largemouth), I easily rank largemouth as my least favorite. But, catching a big one with a mouth big enough to chomp a softball is pretty cool.

Went up north for a few nights solo. Absolute shit show to start, but cleaned it up towards the end. I’ll spare all the details since that would require a lot of typing and I’m feeling lazy. Here’s some pics.
Trolling tonight on the big water in close to shore...
Agreed. But if closed it doesn't look like it would reach. Mouth is for sure small for a largemouth of that size.
Care to post how to you tie it?Of the bass we have in Ohio (smallies, spots, and largemouth), I easily rank largemouth as my least favorite. But, catching a big one with a mouth big enough to chomp a softball is pretty cool.

Used to have a blast tying on a mepps and catching Brookies up in the Pigeon Rive SF
I don't have SBS pics or a video or anything on it yet. I can once I do.

Caught the "Georgia slam" Friday and some cherokee fatties. Another mess of smoker meat!

Got out this AM before some storms rolled in. I’ve been tying some hopper patterns the past week or two, and wanted to test them out before they get taken up north for trout. Local creek is super low and clear so I figured they’d fit the bill. Mixed bag, landed close to 20-30 fish in a in 2ish hours. Nothing big, but fun to see a piece of metal with foam get smacked.
Awesome! What weight rod do you use? I have a 5 weight that I like but was thinking about getting a 3 for panfish.

@GoetsTalon I was using my 5wt this morning, better for throwing bigger foam patterns, but typically for panfish I like my glass 4wt or 3wt
Sorry buddy, I missed this somehow. I use a clump of deer hair that forms sort of the "mouth" area of the craw. Tying the rabbit strip in tight to that deer hair keeps them from collapsing together.
