  1. A Shaky Record in the Heartland

    A Shaky Record in the Heartland

    If you’re looking for a state record bass to challenge and potentially strike from the record book, start here with the 10-pound, 11-ounce fish that has held the top spot for nearly 60 years. It would not meet any of today’s standards for a record bass — no witnesses, no photos, no biologist to certify it, and it wasn’t reported in a timely manner. Here at The Big Bass Podcast, we think it’s time to start over.

    Was 'Bama largemouth almost a WORLD RECORD?

    Alabama’s record history begins with a 24-pound largemouth that was a world record before there were Alabama state records. Then it’s dismissed and the state record starts at less than half its size. After the introduction of Florida bass, the state grows and is broken every few years ... until it plateaus in the late 1980s.

    Your Best Bet for a GIANT Bass

    No other artificial lure has caught more giant bass than the Arbogast Musky Jitterbug. This legendary bait — first manufactured in 1940 — is responsible for more state records and award winners than any other, and it’s remarkably simple to use. Follow the advice of our expert, Jimmy Zinker, and take your lunker fishing to the next level.

    Disgraced Record Holder!

    When John Gorman caught his 10-pound, 14-ounce smallmouth from Dale Hollow Lake in 1969, he got noticed, but no one thought it was anything more than the second biggest smallmouth ever until 1995, when David Hayes' world record was disqualified. That’s when the record-keeping organizations went scrambling and looking for a fish to replace the Hayes smallmouth. They eventually found Gorman, and he held the record until Hayes was reinstated in 2005.

  6. The First Legit Smallmouth World Record

    The First Legit Smallmouth World Record

    For years, the recognized world record smallmouth bass was a “smallmouth” caught in Florida. It wasn’t until 1949, when a couple of biologists set the modern parameters for Micropterus dolomieu, that the record books were set right. After that, it was just a matter of time before an angler filled the record void. That angler was Owen F. Smith of Fairfield, Alabama. He held the world record for nearly five years and has held the Alabama state record for more than seven decades.

    New England's Greatest Bass Fisherman

    We all dream of catching giant bass, and sometimes we dream of catching a state or even a world record bass. Few of us, however, have the audacity to dream of catching two record bass in the same state. For nearly 20 years, a Connecticut barber held both the largemouth and smallmouth records in his state, and he did it from the same body of water and with a remarkably simple fishing system. There’s a lot to learn from this big bass master.
