I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

2lbs decent, 3lbs good, 4lbs big, 5lbs+ toad

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

theres a few lakes around me that give up some pretty big largemouth we put two that went bigger the 6# this yr but i fish just about every day. there was a 7#2oz smallmouth taken out of the same lake and it was weighed on a meat scale at the market.

A good bucketmouth in Michigan is one you can put your whole fist in its mouth and has a tail............ :P

Biggest Michigan largemouth I ever caught was 4.8 on Belleville 2 years ago, it was part of a 14lb. limit I got during my club 2 day outing. There are also some decent largemouth at Moullie Point.(I think thats what it's called, big rocked in area some people call the bird sanctuary on Erie). Club member took a 15lb. bag out of there last August on a Zoom Brush Hawg. Down here in Ohio, all I have to fish thats close is our above ground, featureless reservoirs. I found that using a heavy football jig probing the bottom for the rocks the kids throw from the bank can be very productive for the biggest fish in the lake. I've taken some 5's and a couple 6's from those isolated rocks out in the middle of nowhere. Same thing on Erie I'm guessing. There is probably a pack of 10's that hold on an isolated rock pile thats so small, and so far from anywhere that it's never been found. Some of my biggest fish in San Diego when I lived out there came from areas that I never would have thought would hold any kind of fish, just decided to check out these places at the end of my day. Most big fish come from the most unlikely places.

A good largie in Michigan?  Anything over 4 lbs is definitely noteworthy.  Personally I caught 6 fish over 4 lbs this season...biggest one was 4 lbs 13 oz. ... it's too bad only 2 of those came in a tourney!  Didn't catch a single one that topped 5 lbs though.  My biggest largie to date is a 25" monster I caught in Glen Lake on opening day 1983 trolling a rattletrap.  Didn't have a scale but the tape measure said 25" on the button.  Big spawn filled female that if I had to venture a guess was well on her way to 7.5 - 8 lbs.  It's one of those memories I will NEVER forget.  And the fish went back to finish her job.  Biggest smallie was caught that same year... 22 1/2" caught on the same bait in the same lake.  Again, back then I didn't have a scale so I'd guess that one on the + side of 6 lbs for sure.  1983 was a great year for me!!
Addicted to fishing.  All the time, any species, anywhere!!  Especially in West Michigan!!!
