Today I heard a local guy that fished FLW was fishing 30' of water.  He ended up catching largemouth out of 30' of water?!?!  What am I missing out on?  Anyone ever catch largemouth that deep?  I have never fished deeper than 15' for largemouth.  thoughts....

I was catchen them in 30' of water in TC on an inland lake. They were holding around 15'. I was using crankbaits. But never at 30'. Maybe smallmouth.

6 lb Smallmouth

I've caught largemouth on Kentucky Lake in 25'-30" of water.

I've heard of guys pulling huge largies from Sanford from 20 ft down but never 30ft. Actually I hear the Sanford open bag this Saturday was over 25lbs. Pretty nuts for an inland lake, not sure who it was but I think he was fishing deep most of the day

Gull lk has weeds in 40 ft of water. My deepest green fish came in 38ft actual. In the dog days of summer out there many tourneys are won over 30ft.

It is incredible the amount of bait fish out there. Follow the bait you find the fish.

I fish quit a few tourneys out there and a lot of greenies come to the scale that can not swim.

If you learn to fish that deep, it is a must to learn to needle the air bladder to release the air so the fish can swim downward again.

When you catch a greenie in 26ish or deeper and you bring it up to quick the air bladder will expand without the fish being able to control it.

Chime in you secretive guys and tweak my explanation!

Dave is spot on that has been going on for a long time on Gull and a couple of other lakes around there. Not easy to do and you definitely need to vent the fish. When it first started many years ago there would be fish floating everywhere.
BTW Dave I worked and fished with your Dad and Secret Joe for over 20 years and you just gave up more info in that post than I ever got from them....LOL Actually used to stellhead fish with you a little back in the day.
