I am glad to say that I added one fish to #3 Wileys and one to #9Topraider. I have 3 others that were 49 1/2" on those #3 Wiley lures. Congrats to our local lure company the Wileys... I will be running some of my custom 11" Wileys this weekend to try to add to his list.

I'm really surprised that Legend didn't make the list........perchbaits or plows.
They must be close behind!!!!!

I'll bet the DCG'S passed the EAGLE TAILS by now! The DCG's are a hot bait everywhere but where I fish! LOL!

We've released 23, 50"+ out of our boat since 1998. All but 2 of those have been on Wiley lures. 1 on a Tuff Shad

Holy Crap! Those Canadian waters have treated you guys pretty well. :)
Are you getting spoiled yet??
yeh, 20 of those 23 are from Canada
if you want a 50"er, you have to fish where they live
not that there aren't 50s in PA, or the river...you know what I'm saying
