jlperkins Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Was fishing yesterday morning and caught my best bass and it was a small mouth at 20 inches, Didnt have a scale but thats ok it was a beast to me, Iam pretty new to bass fishing used to go occasionally with a friend,but me and my son got a boat in august, and my son has taught me a lot as he has been a avid bass fisherman, I have learned a lot here also, So now im hooked, Caught it on a shakey head, Me and my son is fishing a tournament in the morning so hope we can find a few big gals, It will also be my first tournament, other than a small group of guys, expecting 90 plus boats, Great spending time with my son just hope he stays patient with his old dad lol, 4 Quote
Super User bigbill Posted October 30, 2015 Super User Posted October 30, 2015 Congrats I'm not sure what 20" long is weight wise. Smallies can be chunky. Quote
Snakehead Whisperer Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 It's awesome that you and your son have something that you're both passionate about that you can do together. I hope that you can top your recent catch during the tournament and win big fish. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted October 30, 2015 Super User Posted October 30, 2015 A 20" smallie is no...small fish Congrats! Quote
Super User bowhunter63 Posted October 31, 2015 Super User Posted October 31, 2015 Congrats sounds like you had a great day Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 31, 2015 Global Moderator Posted October 31, 2015 Around here a 20" smallmouth is in the 4-5 pound range depending on how fat it is, nice fish either way! Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted October 31, 2015 Super User Posted October 31, 2015 PB's are always sweet. Congrats. Quote
WPCfishing Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Nice catch, good luck at the tourney. Quote
Snakehead Whisperer Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 How'd you guys do in the tourney? Quote
jlperkins Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 we didnt do too good in the tourney, we had 2 keeper fish, out of 129 boats 25 boats weighed in 5 fish limit, winner had 15.05 lb. It was overcast all day was expecting some nice fishing but it was tough, Thanks Yall Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted November 2, 2015 Super User Posted November 2, 2015 Congrats on the PB Smallie! A 20 incher would usually be mid to upper 4's. If it was really chunky maybe even 5. Did you snap any pics of the beast? Also, it's awesome what you're sharing with your son. I've had my dad as a tournament partner for the last few years. I grew up fishing with him and it's really cool having those type of memories with him. I'm sure your son feels the same way! Quote
