MikeWright Posted February 6, 2017 Author Posted February 6, 2017 Thanks everyone!! It definitely fought harder than any LMB that I've caught. She stayed under until she was 6 feet from the bank and started head shaking like crazy...to be honest I was quite overwhelmed. I thought I had caught a bucket and it was just swaying left and right until I saw her. On another note...if the Falcons let the Pats come back after that deficit I'm going to be very disappointed. 1 Quote

MikeWright Posted February 16, 2017 Author Posted February 16, 2017 I just did some research and come to find out the lake record Smallie is 6.43lbs. To believe I was close to the record made me realize I'll probably never catch a Smallie of that size again. Quote

Extrapolation using the Bassmaster lunker scale: - your smallmouth is equivalent to a 7.1# LMB - your lake's record smallie is equivalent to a 10.7# LMB Sorry... had to math-out for a second. Beautiful fish! Go get another! Quote

Super User everythingthatswims Posted February 19, 2017 Super User Posted February 19, 2017 Not sure what jig that is, but I have been known to pair a baby boo jig with that color skirt and that color baby rage craw quite often Quote
