TENNESSEE NEWSOME Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Finally getting around to posting this. I caught this biggun in six or seven foot of water off a point where on both sides it drops off to 30 feet or more. Ruler had him at exactly 20 inches. What a fight! Quote
JayW Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Nice! Always close their mouth and squeeze their tail to get an exact measurement. She may have been a little over 20 inches that way. Here in Florida, the game wardens always tell you to measure them that way. Heck, I don't keep them, but I fish Teneroc a lot and they make you fill out a creel sheet with the length of each fish. That's how the their biologists measure them. I've never caught a big Smallmouth. Maybe when I'm up in Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee this fall I'll get a chance to catch one. Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted June 4, 2007 Super User Posted June 4, 2007 Nice catch! 20" equates to about 4 lbs. Quote
