Got to catch a couple smallmouth

[RUGER]

Rare opportunity for me.
One was on a roostertail and the other was on a Bobby garland monkey milk jig.
Lots of fun on 6# test
One of them jumped 5 times before I wore him down
Tim's Ford lake

My thoughts exactly. Nice SM.

They don't have to be keeper size to be a blast to fish!

 

[gasman]

Nice

 

[spoonie]

Awesome!

 

[thirdwilliam]

nice ones

 

[BetterDaniel]

Nice! Gonna be staying on the little pidgin for a weekend to do some creek small mouth fishing. Seeing these is getting me pumped!!

 

[FLTENNHUNTER1]

Well done! That had to be a blast on lightweight gear.

 

[flyinpro]

Nice

 

[Dbllunger]

Congrats! Love catching the smallies.

 

[CATCHDAWG]

Nice, they are a blast! I'm blessed to live within a few minutes from good smallie waters.

 

[easy45]

Awesome, I haven't caught a smallie in years.

 

[RUGER]

Awesome, I haven't caught a smallie in years.

I could really get used to catching them!

 

[Dbllunger]

They're fun for sure. No comparison between the fight of a smallie vs a largemouth. Like catchdawg, I'm only about 10 minutes from. Some great smallie water.

 

[rsimms]

Brown bass are always extra special!

There is a reason why I drive close to 1200 miles to catch them. Well, when they open the border again, I will be going back. Ontario has the best smallmouth fishing on the planet and what makes it the best is the fact that we almost never see another boat or a person while we are there.

I know you guys have some incredible fishing while ya'll are up there. Your dad still able to make the trip?

There's an old saying that a 3 lb. SM could pull a 6 lb. LM all over the lake. Don't know if it's true, but after 20 some odd years of chasing SM, I would say pretty close to true.

I would say that's accurate.

Nice.... beutiful fish

Not sure he will make another one. He is 87 now. 2019 may have been his last one. Hoping he is still up for it if and when we get to go again.

Thanks for asking. Carried him crappie fishing (and my brother) last week, we caught several and my brother had one that was 2 lbs out of Priest.

That's cool I have never caught a small mouth. I have really wanted to but don't know anything about it and I never get to fish out side of west TN.

I definitely don't know anything about it.
I caught these while trying for yellow bass. LOL
No doubt it was a good time though.

I did catch one a few years ago on KY lake while fishing for bream though. Caught that one on a cricket.

I grew up catching smallmouth out of a creek. Learned a lot from it. Mainly how they setup in current. Find a deeper creek and it will have smallmouth in it. They are relatively easy to catch too.

Ruger, lost the biggest smallmouth I have ever hooked one day in White Oak creek. Got him to the boat, no net I rarely use one anyways but wish I had one that day. Guy with me and myself believe it was 7 lbs easy. Hit a bubble gum worm, floating it next to milfoil. Wish I had got him in.

We used to catch 4 to 5 a summer that were 4 to 5 lbs fishing Priest while fishing drop offs. Haven't caught one in many years though.

Good deal
