WI_Angler1989 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Hey everyone, Let's get a look at your favorite Smallmouth pictures! What was your set up when you caught it too? A lot of you have been fishing this winter, and a lot of you have had good fishing so far and spring weather. Me, and a lot of people up north, haven't been so lucky! It's been cold until recently and now it's been raining for 3 days! So let's see 'em guys! I'll start.... 2.5" Cabin creek tube, St Croix legend tournament bass 610mxf, Pfleuger President reel. 8 Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted March 17, 2016 Super User Posted March 17, 2016 Both of these were taken using my St. Croix LTB 6'10" ML/XF throwing a drop shot 1 with a Berkley Bottom Hopper Jr. , the other with A YUM Warning Shot or Kill Shot. Caught on St. Croix Legend Xtreme 6'6" M/F throwing a Rapala Shadow Rap Deep Caught on Rapala Shadow Rap Thrown on 6'6" Legend Xtreme M/F and Xcalibur XCS100 thrown on a 7'2" LTB M/M Probably another week and I'll be able to get out on the river and chase some toads again! Super pumped! One last one that wasn't from last year but still one of my favorite smallie pics 12 Quote

Josh_Bovaird Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 It is one of my favorite catches yet. I always carry the fly rod when they are shallow, its a blast! 1 Quote

WI_Angler1989 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 I may forget how too...it's been forever since I took a picture of an actual real live fish I caught! 1 Quote
WPCfishing Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Wow, Looks like you guys have done some serious fishing and been very successful. Good Job guys! Quote
Will Wetline Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Here's a favorite pic of a 4.5 lb. smallie which is a decent fish, of course, but memorable because It took a bait I had doubts about: the Duo Realis Spin Bait 80. This is an unusual looking lure which I researched fairly extensively and then decided to spend $12.99 on (in 2013) and try it out using the presentation I had read about and watched on video: 7' ML rod (St. Croix Avid) and light fluoro (6 lb. Sunline Sniper on a Stradic 2500). This was my first fish on the Spin Bait! It's been a go-to bait for two years now. 10 Quote

Super User Jar11591 Posted March 18, 2016 Super User Posted March 18, 2016 Got this one on a drop-shot in about 30 feet of water. Went 4.25 lbs. 8 Quote
Super User slonezp Posted March 18, 2016 Super User Posted March 18, 2016 Action shot My son. Pic didn't do it justice. He also caught a 5lb largemouth that day while I caught the skunk Son with a Sturgeon Bay football Dad with a Sturgeon Bay football Door County at night A little porker I caught near home Not sure why I had that stupid look on my face Legitimate Sturgeon Bay football. It was bigger around than it was long. I think it measured 12" or so 8 Quote
WI_Angler1989 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 Looks like you spend some quality time on Sturgeon Bay Slonezp Quote
tbone1993 Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 From the week I finally busted the 5lb mark for smallmouth. Crazy how one day I was in shorts and a cut off and the next I was in my bibs. Sucks that we couldn't put em in the livewell, we had over 25lbs for the day. Mainly 2/3lbers but when you're catching em hand over fist I'll take that any day. 7 Quote
EvanT123 Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 A few from last year. Mighty Mohawk All Day!! 7 Quote
