Skunked in DR Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Lake St. Francis (the St. Lawrence River between Cornwall and Montreal) is becoming one of the hottest smallie destinations around in Eastern Canada. It's getting so that 5 fish bags under 26 lbs finish out of the money. This weekend a new record was set a 30.35 lb bag with a 7.15 lb lunker was weighed in to win a friendly tournament. I don't care what anyone says, that's an incredible weight for 5 smallies. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 28, 2009 Super User Posted September 28, 2009 Geez... Anyone that's ever fished for smallmouth realize that 30.35 is HUGE! 8-) Quote
Fat-G Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Wow!!! I would LOVE to catch a 5 lb. smallie. Quote
NewAngler Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Wow!!! I would LOVE to catch a 5 lb. smallie. How about five 6 pounders!? Quote
Chris W Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 That is insane. I cannot imagine culling almost 6lb smallmouth. I have fished some of the best smallmouth waters in North America over the last 10 years and about 26lbs is the best day I have ever had for 5 fish. 30 lbs is just awesome. Quote
huskybass Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 The 30.35 lb. limit was anchored by a 7.15 lb. lunker. That means their other 4 smallmouth AVERAGED about 5 pounds 13 ounces. Simply amazing. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted October 1, 2009 Super User Posted October 1, 2009 I wanna go! PLEASE!!!! A few years back I fished the St. Lawrence in the Thousand Islands section for a week. Fabulous smallie fishing and largemouths too. Nothing to compare to those fish though! Quote
riverfisher Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 WOW thats amazing!! According to Google Maps it's a little over 6hours away from me. AAAAAW SNAP!! Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted October 4, 2009 Super User Posted October 4, 2009 The 30.35 lb. limit was anchored by a 7.15 lb. lunker. That means their other 4 smallmouth AVERAGED about 5 pounds 13 ounces. Simply amazing. WOW ! After the Second one - I don't know if I would be able to contain myself ~ A-Jay Quote
stepchild Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 The tourney trails are catching up on this too as several series are making a point to visit...some even twice. Not only is this a great smallie fishery, but you can also put a 25lb bag of largies in the boat on a good day. Quote
