QED Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 This little ~2.5" fish hit a 4" wacky rigged green pumpkin senko. Its mouth was not nearly large enough to engulf the hook, but this persistent fish hung onto the stick bait. When it gets larger, I'm sure it will be a fierce fighter! 7 1 Quote

QED Posted September 6, 2021 Author Posted September 6, 2021 I returned it to the lake right after I snapped the photo and it swam away just fine. 1 Quote
The Baron Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 He’s got some good girth. Probably weighs up more than you think. ? 3 Quote
schplurg Posted September 7, 2021 Posted September 7, 2021 I started a "Personal Worst" thread here once. Caught a 4 incher on a popper. Was so cute. I heard this tiny little "ploink" sound, was that a fish? Nah.... and reeled the little guy in. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 7, 2021 Global Moderator Posted September 7, 2021 It happens with Ned rigs and tiny smallmouth pretty often. They grab the tail and their little sandpaper teeth get stuck to that squishy tail and they can't let go. Usually they get lifted into the boat and then fall off pretty quickly when their weight and flopping is added in. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted September 23, 2021 Super User Posted September 23, 2021 Around here that would be considered an above average catch. 1 Quote
