Largemouth:
6lbs 4oz. SK KVD frog in the color Stump Jumper (practice fishing) Silver lake, late July
6lbs 2oz. Homemade 1/2 flipping jig green pumpkin w/green pumpkin Havoc pit boss trailer (practice fishing) Silver lake late Sept.
5lb 8oz black and blue Havoc flat dawg with a 3/8oz tungsten sinker pegged to its nose in a Tuesday night tournamet on Coneus lake Early Aug.
then there were a whole bunch between 5 and 5-8 that I can't remember except 1, which was caught during a tournament on Silver lake flipping a 1oz green pumpkin Havoc pit boss in early Aug.
Smallmouth: I didn't crack 5lbs again this year with them, but I caught a whole bunch that were pushing it:
4lbs 14oz 3/4 oz wobble head jig w/ a green pumpkin Havoc Devil Spear Silver lake tournament late August.
4lbs 12oz same bait, same tournament
4lbs 11oz same bait, late October on Silver lake practice fishing
and then too many low to mid fours to count or remember, most of them on wobble head jigs, or flick shake with a 4" finesse worm.

flipin4bass reply :
I didn't get to fish much in 2014 due to my wife's battle with breast cancer, but I hope to pull in some hawgs this year. All the bass over 10 lbs that I've caught have been landed using the Mann's 9" Jelly Worm (blackberry) and the Gene Larew 6" Hoo Daddy. There are many good baits out there that yield hawgs, but these two are my go-to baits.

There is a BBZ-Jr a dingo would be a BBZ-Sr. It's a musky bait originally. Really it was a bit of a fluke it happened. I was only trying to f with my brother really and tied it on his rod that is left hand retrieve "I use right" and way under powered for such a heavy bait. I was ripping on him since he was getting skunked saying I could catch fish with anything and he should just quit and give me all his gear. He freaked out from m tying it on his M/H LDC. Him saying you break it you buy it blah blah and me saying ya you suck it will be mine anyways blah blah. First cast as soon as I started to turn the handle something grabbed it. I fished the hell out of that bait for a little while after that but only ever got 1 more fish that was around 3 or so. It was just a unlikely situation.

Thanks! The "down the hatch" photos are always fun. She was a very nice fish and a good fight on the little cranking rod that I caught her on. I now call this fish Victoria - I've caught her twice and I'm looking forward to maybe meeting her again. The story was here: Got Warts? This 7.6Lb Lmb Had One!
Here she is the first time I caught her (6 weeks before the 2nd catch) - she weighed 7.4 at that time and was caught on a 5" weightless grub. The photos of the 2nd catch were much better than this first catch.

hoosierbass07 reply :
My largest came on a Strike King Kvd 1.5 squarebill shad color in the spring time on a clear water strip pit. I didn't weight it but I do have video of it on my MidwestVideoDepot youtube channel. That was my largest bass caught so far.
My second large bass was two pounds and fifteen ounces (almost three pounds) and that came on a split-shot El Grande Jr. Gila Monster in Green Pumpkin at a state park reservoir where I was bank fishing. Water was green/brownish.
I have to add a third day where I didn't catch my biggest but I did catch four or five nice sized bass in under an hour on a Booyah Pond Magic spinnerbait. It was at the same place I caught that two pound fifteen ounce bass. I was bank fishing at the same spot in the evening during the spring and those bass went after that Booyah Pond Magic spinnerbait like crazy.
Those three days were my best, all happened in the spring.
