Thanks man! Yeah I think the smallmouth fishing is supposed to pick up here towards fall. I'm gonna be hitting the river more and more as the weather cools down.
Hey thanks guys! Yeah that's pretty big for the penobscot I was pretty surprised. Can't wait to get back out and try to hook in to one even bigger!
Thanks again for the comments!
Ha it IS the shorts!
Man good god!! Would you share with us the astounding weights of those beasts? Or do fish that big break your scale?
Thanks for sharing the techniques and presentations you're using. Inspiring stuff man. WTG!
Hey man - saw you on the Charlie Moore Show the other day. Lol I did a double take but it was definitely you! That's dope man good for you! That must have been a good time! Y'all were frying up some snakeheads haha it was awesome. I was like, what in the . . . . That's dude from the forum!
Wasn't sure where to post my congratulations lol so I figured I'd do it here lol
Great job man! Congrats!
Went out on the Penobscot River to try to find some smallmouths and ended up with a new smallie PB! Not crazy huge but a PB for me and above average for the Penobscot from what I hear. And the river smallies are just fun. I just caught my first smallie this year and am just happy to be finally figuring the bronzebacks out a little.
This one measured 19” and weighed 3.9 lbs.
I was floating downstream and noticed a small inlet that I hadn’t seen on the way upstream. Motored over to it and this beauty hit a jig n craw just outside the inlet on my first cast! Made a great ending to my day of catching around 20 or so on the river. Got a few pics of some of the smaller ones on my thread if anyone’s interested.
Tight lines!
Got a chance to get out on the hunt for some river smallies. Had a great time! Caught around 20 fish, the largest being a new PB of 3.9
Here’s the 3.9
It measured 19” and came on a jig with a rage craw trailer
Here are a few pics of some of the other ones
I feel like the smaller ones in the 1.5-2# range give a better fight. I think I heard that somewhere and so far I’ve found it to be the case.
The fish came on all sorts of lures – from a 10” worm to jigs to tubes to rage craws to spinnerbaits. Had a great time trying out different techniques and trying to find some bronzebacks on the big ole Penobscot!
I've been a little M.I.A. for a bit but hopefully things will be calm and my schedule should be pretty free here for a while so yeah like marinetech said I'm definitely down to meet somewhere in the middle and amitysanimal you're right we should make it a priority to meet up asap! Srry I don't have any tips on East Grand Lake - haven't been there. Good luck though!
Mainebassman - yeah man we gotta get together here man I'm gonna PM you right now. I'm at your service as far as scheduling and location, and I really can't wait man - it'll be nice to meet up with you and I know I'll learn a lot by seeing how you target these bass up here!
Nice fish man! Funny watching it dig in there to get back out deep. I was talking to a guy up here in Maine who uses the pink bubblegum senkos and swears by them. I was gonna order some but haven't yet - maybe there's something to the pink! Nice vid man keep it up!
Man it's just plain insane the things you do Glad I caught this, almost missed this post. Thanks for sharing such a nice fish and a little of the method to your madness too!
That's awesome man, way to use google earth and have the curiosity to try new places, and looks like changing up colors was just what you needed to trigger that big strike!
