Any largemouth guys here?

Yep - my late surfcasting partner Zeke Silva was instrumental with incorporating lots of striped bass tactics to largemouth and largemouth tactics/techniques to striped bass. I was the benefactor and have kept them alive.
Senkos for instance.

Certainly, There's a LOT less difference between gamefish species response to conditions and stimulus than many would think and not just largemouths and stripers. I try to largemouth fish almost every week. What's nice about largemouth fishing is you know the fish in your pond are there somewhere. Now you have to figure it out. No blaming ASMFC, NOAA, the boats on the reef poaching, or guys at the canal. If your not catching it's because of you and you have to figure out the best way to get a hit with the conditions you have in front of you.

And as Zeke Silva used to say, "There's something to be learned from every fish."

Keeping up with what's going on in the FW Bass world is pretty relevant to striper fishing. All the best tackle, lures and soft plastics get first developed to chase the money which is spread around the entire country and certainly Japan for largemouth fishing. Looking at any tackle, lure or soft plastic lure company catalog and the amount of choices of really neat stuff for Largemouths is enough to make your head spin. And the lures and techniques work real well on stripers too.
