I was fishing a bama bug color Berkeley pit boss soft plastic creature bait with a 3/8 oz tungsten flipping weight pegged on a 5/0 trokar Flippin' hook on a 7' medium heavy power fast tip fenwick eagle rod with a 6:3:1 pfleuger president baitcast reel. I pitched the pit boss into a thick cluster of hydrilla growing between two boat docks right at the top of the drop off in about 6 ft of water. I let it drop into the hydrilla, I engaged the reel and went to pop the lure and it was all heavy weight, so I set the hook! This big ol 5 pound bass came firing out into the deep water towards my boat and jumped. It dove and jumped a few times and I managed to play it to the boat mid fight and grab her as she surfaced. I had it hooked right through the bone in the corner of its mouth. It also had a red ewg hook dead center of its upper lip/jaw. I removed that hook and mine. And wonder if that's the one that broke me off a year ago...?? The hook should have rusted and fell off by now.. I wonder because I'm the only one who fishes this little lake with that kind of gear. Everyone else fishes for pan fish. Anyways... it measured 22". It had to have been 5lbs+ it was comparable in size (or bigger) to 5 pounders I have weighed there before.
