Super User Dwight Hottle Posted October 29, 2014 Super User Posted October 29, 2014 Went out this Monday after getting a heads up from Lucky Craft Man who was already on the water. I tried cranks & jerkbaits but the fishing was slow. Steve was having good luck with jigging spoons so I tried the old silver buddy. My buddy produced the better fish. Here is a pic of the best one. 13 Quote

Lucky Craft Man Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 It was finally nice to be able to give Dwight some tips after all the help he has given me. Here is a picture of the biggest one we caught that same day (this was caught by my buddy). Dwight, we should have gotten those two fish together for a photo. That would have been one awesome picture to add to the "Your Favorite Pair" thread. 4 Quote
Smokinal Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Did you guys weigh those 2 fish? My God they're both giants! 1 Quote
jbw252 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Sweet looking smallie there...congrats! 2 Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted October 30, 2014 Super User Posted October 30, 2014 Looks pretty smooth today 2 Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Did you guys weigh those 2 fish? My God they're both giants! My scale got swamped and shorted out on me, so we didn't get a weight on it. However, since we knew it wasn't over 7 pounds, it didn't matter much that we didn't weigh it (7 pounds in Erie is that line where anything under doesn't really need weighed). 3 Quote

Now come south with us and dink drop some 7 pound green bass . . . . A-Jay 3 Quote

It is a shame when 5 and 6 pound Smallmouth are considered nice fish, but just not the one you are looking for. Now if that fish was caught out of say the Allegheny River, that would be a replica worthy fish, but Erie has just set the bar so high. As far as heading south with you guys to dink drop 7 pound Largemouth, that would be like a dream come true! However, that is a trip I won't be able to put on my radar until my girls are older. In the meantime, I will have to live vicariously through you guys, so be sure to keep posting pictures of those slobs!!! 3 Quote
