Fish Chris Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 It was a tough trip. Only managed to scratch out 3 fish... a 3 lb Larghemouth, a 3 lb Smallie, and this fat healthy 5.4 lb'er I guess I forgot how big a 5+ Smallie was ! In the water, I guessed at least 6, maybe 7 lbs. Even after I caught it, I was thinking it had to go 6... but the scale doesn't lie. Only 5.4. Still a nice fish though. Oh, I caught all 3 fish on my micro-light and a fly-lined crawler. Never got a touch on swimbaits, or wakebaits. Peace, Fish Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 thats a dandy smallie!!! Good to hear from you FC. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 23, 2010 Super User Posted March 23, 2010 That's a beauty! ;D ;D ;D Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted March 23, 2010 Super User Posted March 23, 2010 Sweet picture Chris. I almost think your photo skills are a good as your fishing skills. It's obvious you excel at both. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 23, 2010 Super User Posted March 23, 2010 Good to see that goofy grin on here again. Still doing the stereo thing or is this your return to the bass fishing world? Hopefully you stick with the fishing. Just not the same without your pics and info for inspiration. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 23, 2010 Super User Posted March 23, 2010 Good to see your posts again, Fish! I was just up at your site a few days ago checking out the pics, very nice. If you're ever in my neck of the woods, there's an open seat for some shooting and fishing for dinks Quote
Fish Chris Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 Much thanks guys :-) BTW, you might like this pair of Mergansers in-flight, that I shot yesterday, during the same trip.... Peace, Fish Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted March 23, 2010 Super User Posted March 23, 2010 Great fish. Seeing shots like that really make me want to take a trip up north one day to get a shot at some of those smallies. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted March 23, 2010 Super User Posted March 23, 2010 Wonderful pictures !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Mattlures Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 What a purdy smallie. I wish I had those closer to me. I have never caught one. Good to see you back catching and posting! Quote
BigEbass Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Awesome fish man - that must have been an awesome fight - never caught a smallie yet - none down in my neck of the woods :'( Quote
b.Lee Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Great catch, and I really like that picks of the birds. Assuming you have some great gear with you, and keen eye Quote
Fish Chris Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 Thanks guys I definately had fun. So much in fact, that I'm going to be there again tomorrow Peace, Fish Quote
Rand Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Excellent catch Chris. Smallies are some of the best fish to catch. They don't give up. Good to see you back on. Pics are fantastic as per usual. Rand Quote
hookset on 3 Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 The photo captures the tiger stripe markings of a smallmouth in stunning detail. Great focus of those mergansers on the fly. That can't be easy. Quote
