>>>Is there a reason you guys fish from the belly boats like laws against larger boats or gas motors or is it just something you enjoy?

No, most of us in this club just can't afford bass boats but love to compete so we fish from tubes or pontoon boats(kickboats) instead.

>>>You guys look like you have a great abundance of large 6+ sized large mouth. I noticed you guys also throw allot of the big AC style plugs. Is this the best way to catch these large bass?

That depends on who you talk to. :-)
There was a poll recently on what the biggest fish was we each had caught and what it was on. The vast majority of the fish were caught on brown jigs. But a lot were caught on the large wood plugs.

Have you ever heard of any tube clubs in your part of the country? The only ones we know of are here in California. (there are 3, well... 4 sort of)
