Trophy Bass in Missouri

[Pinsir]

I've cought around 200 adult bass in Missouri using multiple spots. Yet not a single trophy fish. Is this something to expect? I don't mind too much but I'd like to know what my expectations should be! Thanks for any responses

Depends on what you are using. I have caught a lot of trophy bass there. I use about a 1/3 Oz #3/0 to catch them.

Ahh, alright. I've been using #2, I'll fix that. Thanks for the help!

I'm in the same boat as you, caught around 200 adult bass and on Friday I believe it was, I finally caught a 4.8lb trophy that I couldn't keep because my fish keeper is too small lol. I was using a #2/0 jig.

Around 6, AM and PM.

the #3/0 hook jigs are really a game changer for trophy bass. Imo, a solid twitch helps too, but I get that everyone has his/her favourite technique. Just fish at peak times, that always works for me in missouri.

Yeah, got the larger jigs and caught one right away by twitching xP

I've been twitching, stop and going, using all kinds of jig heads and bass jigs of all sizes, but the largest I've caught so far is 1.034 Kg. I'm hoping one day my bad luck will turn.
