I met a man about 50 years ago at Lone Mountain boat dock on Norris Lake that had caught 2 mud cats.  One was 91 lbs and the other was 107 lbs.  Ugliest thing I ever saw and when they brought them out of the water for us to see, I could have easily fit my child in that monster's mouth!! 

I'll take the 10 lb large mouth!!

I have no idea who that guy was,  but much respect to him,  catching two giant fish like that in a single trip,  he's now one of my new heroes 

Those mud cats/ flat heads are my favorite catfish.  The heads on some of them thing's is as wide as a hood on a truck.  That's what they remind me of anyways! 

I've caught some weighing in the 50s. Guess I'm half way to 100lbs!

I don't target bass much,  idk why,  I did when I was younger.  Biggest bass I caught was 7lbs.  That was on accident.  I was fishing a bluegill/shell cracker bed, when I caught it,  on a red worm,  with 4lb line   I've caught several nice bass like this over the years on accident,  using a red worm as bait,  while trying to catch panfish.  
I'm happy to catch those big bass while bluegill/shell cracker fishing.  But it's kinda disappointing.  Think I've got a state or world record panfish.  Get it to the bank and it's a bass lol
