No other artificial lure has caught more giant bass than the Arbogast Musky Jitterbug. This legendary bait — first manufactured in 1940 — is responsible for more state records and award winners than any other, and it’s remarkably simple to use. Follow the advice of our expert, Jimmy Zinker, and take your lunker fishing to the next level.

Your Best Bet for a GIANT Bass

Big bass fascinate us. We love catching them, looking at them, and hearing about them. Now, through “The Big Bass Podcast,” we also love telling about them. Hosts Ken Duke and Terry Battisti bring you the stories of some of the biggest and most important bass ever caught … or lost … or fabricated out of thin air.

History

Society & Culture

If you’re looking for a state record bass to challenge and potentially strike from the record book, start here with the 10-pound, 11-ounce fish that has held the top spot for nearly 60 years. It would not meet any of today’s standards for a record bass — no witnesses, no photos, no biologist to certify it, and it wasn’t reported in a timely manner. Here at The Big Bass Podcast, we think it’s time to start over.

A Shaky Record in the Heartland

Alabama’s record history begins with a 24-pound largemouth that was a world record before there were Alabama state records. Then it’s dismissed and the state record starts at less than half its size. After the introduction of Florida bass, the state grows and is broken every few years ... until it plateaus in the late 1980s.

Is a new world record bass just around the corner?

When John Gorman caught his 10-pound, 14-ounce smallmouth from Dale Hollow Lake in 1969, he got noticed, but no one thought it was anything more than the second biggest smallmouth ever until 1995, when David Hayes' world record was disqualified. That’s when the record-keeping organizations went scrambling and looking for a fish to replace the Hayes smallmouth. They eventually found Gorman, and he held the record until Hayes was reinstated in 2005.
