Wife’s best Smallie

[Crow Terminator]

I am a little proud! She caught it yesterday 9-16 on Watts Bar. We've been catching fish early on top water. She had never caught fish on top water until this year and now she is addicted. She will throw a Chug-bug every day. Some days I catch more on a spook style bait but here lately she's putting the hurt on me with that chugging/popper thing. I turned my head when I heard the strike and immediately saw it go airborne. I threw my rod down and grabbed the net! Now she'll never throw anything else lol. I'm going to have a replica mount done for her but looking like it might be a while before she will get it...one of the better artists is 12-14 months time on them now.

Awesome man, congrats to both of you!

Nice smallie

 

[RMcGee]

That sure is a dandy. Ive never caught a smallie, but my dad says they are much more fun to catch than largemouth

 

[pockets]

Awesome fish. Congrats to her.

Bet that was a fun fight. Those things can go acrobatic in the air or just dive straight to the bottom. Love how hard they fight!

 

[tree_ghost]

Great fish. What better way to catch a big one than top water. Congrats.

Nice one......I was really excited when I first mistaken the date for the weight.

Dude! That is a nice smallie, congrats to her!

Thats a very good SM. Sure is a thrill when one that size blows up a topwater.

That is awesome and you can tell she is thrilled! Just curious what you think it weighed? I've caught a few pretty good SM on the river at my farm but I am not a good judge of weight.
