Meridian69 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Thought I would share a couple of nice smallmouth from the weekend. Both fish caught on jerk baits. Enjoy! 19 Quote

wuchr20 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Wow I havent seen a smallie that big for a while 1 Quote
Jsinkic Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Those are some big fish! Side note to have a correct measurement don't you have to have the mouth closed? Quote
Super User Further North Posted May 23, 2015 Super User Posted May 23, 2015 Here's a couple from NW WI 4 Quote
BigSkyBasser Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Gorgeous fish! One reason why I love catching those big smallies, the color is unreal. Quote
Super User Further North Posted May 24, 2015 Super User Posted May 24, 2015 That lake produces some awesome color. If I wak up early enough, I'm headed up there again in the AM. Quote

Super User Further North Posted May 24, 2015 Super User Posted May 24, 2015 Are you on one of the northern chains or the great lakes? I've heard you can stick footballs up there that push 8-9 pounds. I'm in NW WI, a bit north of Eau Claire. That particular lake is not a chain. As far as the great lakes go, Sturgeon Bay produces some big fish, as do some of the bays on Lake Superior. One that I know of has a 23" minimum. Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 WOW! Ok, I'm moving up north! We have smallmouth here in VA, but these pictured here just dwarf them. Great catches! 1 Quote
Super User Further North Posted May 27, 2015 Super User Posted May 27, 2015 There's som big girls in that lake... Just a hair shy of 22 3/4", a nudge over 6 lbs. 5 Quote
Joycer81 Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 This is my personal best smallie that came out of Lake Ontario in Canada. This football was 21 inches long and weighed six pounds eight ounces, doubt I will ever catch one that big again. 3 Quote

Mind me asking what lake you caught all the smallies out of? I'm hoping to expand my range a bit and fish new spots more next season. Quote

Happy to share - shoot me a private message and I'll let you know off line. I don't want the lake to show up on a search engine and get clobbered by everyone and their brother. 1 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 3, 2016 Global Moderator Posted February 3, 2016 My personal fattest smallie had a 8-9 inch crappie tail in it's throat and still tried to eat my crankbait. 1 Quote
