wvuwhat Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 I grew up fishing creeks in the Shenandoah Valley for stocked trout, as well as tying my own flies. My buddy has me hooked on bass fishing now. This was my first smallie ever, caught on the potomac with a pearl white 3/8 oz. swimbait, 2 days ago. It's roughly 3"'s away from my 260 lb. body, I'd say roughly just over a pound, based on what I caught today after weighing them. I'm hooked, he definitely put up a fight, my newbie self would compare it to a 3 pound largemouth I caught last week. Quote
fishermantony Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Beautiful first smallie, congrats! They are fantastic! Quote
405z06 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Once I started fishing for smallies on Missouri ozark streams/rivers, largemouths and resevior fishing of other species took a distant back seat immediately. Quote
pitchin fool Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 once they get bigger, you'll really be hooked!! Quote
D4u2s0t Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 first time I hooked a 2 lb smallie (my first one) I thought I had a record largemouth lol. boy, do they put up a fight! Congrats on your first, and good luck in catching more. Quote
