    3 lb. 13 oz. Largemouth Bass with a Gary Yamamoto Original Senko Worms

      That's better! Whenever u catch a REALLY skinny largemouth, open it's gullet and look for a plastic worm. Often, they'll swallow a worm, think they're ...more full, and starve to death! You can use a piece of PVC or just long needle nose pliers.
