Hey Guys,
Thanks for all the compliments on the fish. I will now divuldge my secret success for large bass.

Snug Harbor Green Umbrella Rig, Wire Line, 50' of water, Plug Depth 40' or so, trolling speed was 3.2mph. It's really funny but I was out there targeting blues when this guy hit, I would have never dreamed this fish would have hit. It was also only about 6:00pm, not prime fishing time by any means...Just shows that you always need to be ready...

The bass caught off BI (South East Corner) this past weekend were taken on a black tube 18" and Worm, same deal with the wire and depth fished...Seems like the bass have been hanging in the 40-50' depths.

I'm not sure if this is the biggest for the boat tourney, I had forgotten all about it actually. But if it's okay with John and others, I'll submit it into the tourney.... I am pretty certain there will be some 40lb+ fish weighed in soon though...
