What was your largest panfish?

The biggest of my own that I have weighed was a 2lbs9oz shellcracker. A 2lb bream. I've caught a lot of others the same size and a few bigger but after seeing what my buddy caught I quit weighing. This is what he caught. I've seen in person, five shellcracker caught together in a special hole on Lake Moultrie the smallest was 3lbs and the largest 3lbs8oz. They looked just like a football. One with the head off filled the bottom of the sink.

Stump talk to me about where you catch those 2 lbers. i would make a ride for those any day. Do you ever fish at Roanoke Rapids. I caught some big bream at the 95 bridge.

Funny crappisaurusrex:p I tell you like I was told when I wanted to know. It's on the Trent River near New Bern at the big bend in the river. One of the seven lakes called Sutton Lakes in Wilmington, NC. On the Black River under a tree that hides a ditch, that leads to a pond hidden in the cypress trees. A nice 27 acrea mill pond owned by an old lady that shot across the water hollaring get off my pond. In the grass beds wading around Lake Waccamaw, NC. Pretty much anywhere I fish... want to come:p Good luck... my honey hole is my honey hole and even my honey don't know my holes:eek: :rolleyes: ;) :D

My biggest (crappie excluded) is a 1 pound 5 ounce shellcracker caught at Beaverdam Swamp Reservoir in 2004. I plan to spend more time in June and July this year at Little Creek Reservoir to see if I can better that mark.

Damn Tony, That ain't exactly the response I was expecting you would get. Oh Well, you and me will get some bigguns this summer. I guess not all Carolinians are as accomodating as some of us Virginians.:rolleyes:

Yea, I would have had almost enough for the $.99 menu at Wendys!

Now that I'm figuring out titelining as a compliment to the longlining I've done in the past, I'm going to try Little Creek again this year in the 10'-15' depth range to see if I can find the bigger fish. Pete can just hand me his money now.;)

Question For you Brimm Pro's

Hello guys and Gals[ Ladies] I have a question for you if you don't mind. I fish a small pond on the Hunter AAF base here in Savannah. In the spring,summer and early fall I can catch nice brimm there but as soon as it gets cold I can't catch a single one. So where do they go? Do they retreat to deep water and hold to structure? I have tried all kinds of live bait and lures. Thanks for your replies in advance. Jimmy S.
