19.5". Didn't weigh it, but I guess between 4 and 4.5 lbs. Got it on a 4" watermelon Senko.

3.96 on a football jig. Stopped at the ramp for lunch and made a cast down the submerged rock wall that continues after the walkway stops. One of the hardest thumps I've ever felt on a jig, thought it was a drum at first.

Can't find a pic of my biggest right now, I think it's on another hard drive.  But this one took big fish in our club classic a few years ago.  We lost by 0.05 lbs.  Great fish!

A 7# on a black spinnerbait at night. No pictures since it was caught in 1989 and had an old style film camera back then and picture has been lost. Got it on the wall the only bass I have kept in 45 years of fishing.

6lbs even, May 2008, caught on a 3" watermelon red flake yum dinger on a drop shot rig off a bed, on my home lake (Silver lake). While I have hundreds of 5+ lb largemouth, and quite a few over six out of that lake , that smallie, was the first, and one of only a hand full of 5+ lb brown fish I have caught the last 10 years there.  I have caught a lot of big smallmouth there, but they almost all seem to top out in the upper 4lb range for me. It's been about 3-4 years since I had a 5+ brown fish, maybe this is the year I get another, I'm due LOL.

I can't believe i can actually join this discussion finally!

20 yrs ago....I caught one around 5lbs out of the Greenbriar river in WVA. I had no proof other than my brother who was there. Well. .... finally. ....after 20yrs of missing my family reunion- I made it up there last week and on the final day of my liscence, I caught this guy on a watermelon/chart roboworm t-rigged on a 1/8oz lead.

I'm not 100% sure on the size- but rough estimate is 18-19 inches and pushing 4lbs maybe? I'm so ridiculously happy I finally have a pic of me and a smallie!

When I was 7 years old (back around 1965) we had gone camping on the shore of Dale Hollow Lake and I hooked into a 3+ lb smallmouth. Got 'er in and my Dad said that we'd get it mounted since it was such a nice one. We put it in the basket and overnight it somehow escaped (basket had a spring top on it so we figure that there was some hanky panky going on, not the fish just escaping). I've wondered over the years whether it was an inside job once he realized how much it was going to cost to get that fish mounted. Sure wish we could have though...

 

On a more recent note I went fishing at Pickwick a couple of weeks ago with my fireman buddy who is either at the firehouse or the lake and he caught this one about 10 minutes after I got out there with him. He'd been fishing all day, I didn't get there until late in the evening and we were going out the next morning. It wasn't a trophy but it was a nice, pretty smallmouth.

I have caught many 18 and 19"ers in a small river (no more than 15 yards wide, and rarely deeper than 6') that I can walk to from my house, I just can't break that 20" Virginia citation mark. I fish for them every year pre spawn when they migrate up to this one pool below a huge rapid from where an old mill was at some point in time, it's about a 2 week window and then they are gone until next spring. Sorry the photo is tiny, BR won't let me post a larger one.

4 lb 13 oz in October 2010, caught at Beltzville State Park, PA. Caught on a white spinnerbait in 3 feet of water during a big rain storm. Don't mind the dinky striper in the picture.

Just caught this one today.  3.2 on a dropshot using a green pumpkin KVD dreamshot.  I'm just getting into fishing for smallies.  Fished Lake St. Clair once this year but didn't catch anything this big.  I flipped the dropshot up by a dock, it hit and took off but it spit the hook.  I let it sit, but it was windy and the boat was drifting right toward my line.  I was going to start reeling in when I seen the fish coming towards the line(only about 10ft of water and it was pretty clear).  I layed off the trolling motor and waited, it eventually took the dreamshot again.  By that time it was pretty much UNDER the boat.  

 

(not a great pic here, my dad is what you would call technologically challenged lol, I had to do some editing because it was too dark)

6.6 lbs on a Chartreuse Galida Grub and a stand-up jig.  That was 20 years ago. Unfortunately the camera of the day was roll film and my one pic has long since been lost. I can feel her on the line like it was yesterday though. What a fighter! Gotta love big Smallies.

This is the 7.40 last week. I will dig up the 9.8 pic. We get lots of 5-6 s daily. 5lb fish on Lake Simcoe is quite common.

 

 

Your picture didn't post

Keeps saying file was to big. Send me your email and i can see if you can post it if ya want. But 5-6s are common on that particular body of water

 

You'll need to resize (smaller) the picture to meet the limitations of the site.

 

You'll figure it out.
