In case you were wondering, this is me! With my personal best largemouth bass, it weighed 5 pounds. That is a pretty good size for my area of the world, although they do get much bigger south of here. The fish won a fishing contest (had to weigh it in at the dock) but was released very much alive after the weigh-in. Countryside Custom Laser Engraving

Feb 13, 2009 12:00 | #2 Wow! I WISH I could catch 5lb largemouth's around here. I live just outside of Chicago, and the largemouth in Illinois maybe get to 2lbs. Where are you at? Web: Erotiklab

I live just south of the St. Paul, MN. That fish was caught in September in Orr, MN which is about 4 hours north of here. Between me and my partner, we probably caught 100 largemouth that weekend, many of which were between 3 and 5 pounds. Countryside Custom Laser Engraving

Feb 14, 2009 11:01 | #6 That fish was caught in early September of last year on a little lake called Myrtle Lake, just north of Orr, MN. Got it on top of a rockpile with scattered weeds on, of all things, a slip bobber rig with a leech. Countryside Custom Laser Engraving

From there, we portage into Lac La Croix for a week of great fishing. We drive right by Myrtle Lake on the Orr/Buyck road. No Largemouth in Lac La Croix though. http://www.flickr.com/photos/photofranz/

Orr is my favorite area in the state. Elephant Lake is another good choice.... I have heard a lot about the Bluegills in Pelican lake for years. http://www.flickr.com/photos/photofranz/

Pelican is actually where we were going to go that weekend, but the owner of the resort we were going to stay at got very sick and they closed. So we ended up at Myrtle.
