jbmaine Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Hello, Last Thur. my wife and I got out for the day on a local lake. It was hot and the fishing was slow but I picked up a new P.B. smallie. I was lobbing a senko in about four ft. of water when it hit. It weighed around 3 1/2 lb on an old scale. I didn't think to measure the length. It would have weighed more but it was so thin, it looked like it hadn't eaten in weeks. It's odd because the lake is full of minnows, frogs, etc. It was a nice surprise as I was fishing for L.M. at the time. Thanks for looking JB Quote
tuxdaddy Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Nice looking bass ... What was with its eye?? Looked like it was blind in the one eye in your last pic.. Congrats!! Quote
slarose20 Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 I think it is just the angle of the camera on the fish and its eye. Great smallie. Im heading back to upstate NY to fish and all ill catch all summer long is small mouth bass. My largest is just over 20 inches long ... never weighed though. I will tell you what though... smallies put up a better fight than any large mouth ehhe Grats again SteveL Quote
jbmaine Posted May 28, 2007 Author Posted May 28, 2007 Hi, thanks for the responces. It's eyes were fine as I remember. And yes, it put up a better fight than most L.M. Does anyone have any idea why it was so thin? Maybe normal for this time of year? When I supported it on it's belly I could feel how shrunk in it was. Again, thanks JB Quote

Low_Budget_Hooker Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 The spawn is in full swing up there, I have been getting reports all weekend from Stratosdadri, 3-4 lb fish ALLL day long. He has video of 2 LM's spawning together, very cool. She is spawned out, that is why the tail is all torn up and she is skinny and EATING!! Great fish, if you had gotten her a day or 2 earlier, you'd have a 4 lbr on your hands. Keep fishing that same water, good genetics right there. Quote
