A 21-22 lb'er (roughly, no scale) on one of my Poppers last year and a 10 1/2 lb Blue fish on the same style popper.

I don't keep all that many fish each year so I will guess that my best on one of my own plugs was around 20 pounds on needles. I did have one bass last fall on one of my own topwater plugs in the canal that looked to be mid 20's but I did not weigh it, just released so I could get the plug back out there.
I get larger fish on jigs in the canal usually.
Someday I'll pass 30 pounds on a plug.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I don't know Larry, it was dark that night, maybe 1 or 2 might have been a pound or 2 over 20 pounds but none of them reached 40" so it's hard to say.I still have that warrior needle You may have got some better.

One of the best wood nights for me was with my son Marcel 2 years ago up in Narragansette bay. We didn't get many large biggest was only 35 or 36" but we must have caught 40 fish between us all keeper size. They were hitting small poppers with wire leaders. Talk about a blast.
