Wow, sounds like a fantastic day numbers--wise; sorry the big ones didn't want to play. I've been averaging about two fish a trip myself so I'm quite jealous.
Is Julie in the contest? She should be. She's just as likely to catch a 30 incher as anyone so long as she fishes with you.
You might want to try this. Tie on a 6/0 to 8/0 circle* and put a really big piece of white bass on--1/3 to 1/2 of a bass depending on size. Could use a double-hook setup. The middle section should be more or less square--well, you know. I know that some of the leaders of the contest use bait so big you would say it's ridiculous, but they have the big ones to prove it works. With the numbers you are catching it couldn't hurt to try it on one line.
*I could give you some to make up for the jigs you loaned me.

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
