Even hooks them precisely in the same spot every time ... top of the mouth, just left of center

well, that is just pretty much it believe it or not.  sometimes just right of center.

that would be funny to watch.  never did claim to be an english major.  guess that is one of those things that can pictured both ways.  but hey, maybe that could be a whole new sport, synchronized fishing.

I think you can see that at any of the trout parks, and on the occasional overloaded pontoon or Jon boat in the summer.

I have fished with your jigs for over 20 yrs. and I would say it's better than a 95% bet of roof of the mouth; I really never paid much attention as to whether right or left side,  but near center hookup.  It can be kind of tough sometime to get it worked out of that bony cartilage at times.  As I mentioned before,  if you have a good hookset and proper line, the fish is in the boat. If you doubt that, then try em and you'll see what I am talking about.

I noticed with interest the post regarding the  lunker at K Dock on BS.  I had a long comprehensive conversation with the several MDC Biologist regarding people harvesting Bass over 7lbs. and up.  They told me these fish should be harvested as their life span was about over and they would most likely would not live long enough to be caught again. About 10 years in our lakes is about their life span.  They said the smaller bass are the productive producers 14" to 18" range.

I don't keep any bass,  other than some whites and walleye occasionally,  when my wife put the pressure on me to bring some home and when I am lucky enough to catch em.

hazbin,  that is correct that bass over 6 lbs. are very close to the end of their life span.  also, 14 to 18 inch bass are the best at spawning.  could be compared to keeping gas until it goes bad.  bass are not any different and just like us only have a certain amount of time before they die.

that was certainly a big bass and coming from the k dock area certainly had lived a long time to reach that weight.
