With the down time from fishing I have been doing a lot of reading to help pass the time till opening day. A lot of sites with angler profiles list their personal best (heaviest bass) so I thought it would be fun to do the same. I will start with my personal best Largemouth at 8+ pounds caught at Loch Raven reservoir on a 7" worm ( caught a 6 lb.1oz. same day). My personal best Smallmouth was 7lb.2 oz. 24 1/2"long caught at Prettyboy reservoir on a 4" worm. I wish I knew where these fish go on tournament day! What are your personal best's?

Great Idea Bob. Only problem
Great Idea Bob. Only problem is that your personal bests are so good. I don't know how many people will want to compare their numbers with you. It would be interesting to include the Month and Year of your catches. As I indicated, my personal bests are smaller than yours. 6Lb 2oz Largemouth 5 years ago in April at Loch Raven . 5 and a half LB Smallmouth on Susquehanna river 3 years ago, in the spring. Caught more than thirty high quality smallies that day.
Walt both of those fish were
Walt both of those fish were caught in May, the smallmouth was in 1996 and the largemouth in 1999. I do have pictures of the largemouth thanks to Rob. I do make up the difference by catching small fish the rest of the year,
Good post, Bob. My biggest LM
Good post, Bob. My biggest LM was a 10.2 that I caught when I lived in Pensacola, FL. It was September 2003. I was throwing a Zoom 7" Red Shad U-tail worm. It was one of the hottest days of the year. It was so hot I was just letting a 2-3mph wind drift me over a short fast-tapering point. The beast hit the worm and I missed her the 1st time and circled the boat back around and re-drifted and she wacked it again. She was so lethargic because of the hot water she only took 1 power run and then floated up to the top and just laid over for me to get her. Got her out of about 13 FOW.
As for the SM, I really don't know and would only be guessing that my biggest is near 5lbs. I nailed a pretty nice
5.3 at Prettyboy in December '07. I was throwing a silver buddy and caught her in about 12 FOW. That's probably the biggest SM I have gotten.
My goal is to beat both personal bests in 2014!!! :)
Good post, Bob. My biggest LM
Anybody else?
7 lb largemouth at Liberty in
7 lb largemouth at Liberty in December of 2012 under Nico Bridge on a silver buddy. 5 lb plus smallmouth at Liberty under 26 Bridge on bottom dweller spinner bait.......2012 also.
Ive only been on the lakes two years. I do most of my tourny fishing on Potomac.
My biggest fish in all three lakes have always been from chucking reaction baits.
