When I was a kid on the lake, I would consistently catch five and six pound bass, several in an evening. I have photo after photo from my youth of big fat bass that would win your tournament, caught on worms by a pre-teen kid in a rowboat. Stingers with three and four fish that were all bigger than your winner. And every summer there would be one or two real lunkers, over 7 pounds. I have a 7.5 pounder on my wall.
When you send a hundred "professional" bass fishermen out for a whole day and only two fish over 5 pounds are caught, it makes me very sad about the state of the smallmouth fishery of Lake Winnipesaukee.
