Super User Dwight Hottle Posted August 18, 2011 Super User Posted August 18, 2011 Your post reminds me of this one. Quote
northern basser Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I was fishing smallies in a local river several years ago and caught the ugliest smallie I've ever seen. It was like 18", solid dark(mud) brown, red eyes and its fins and tail were beat up terribly. I don't know if it mattered, but the river was extremely low at the time. Quote

Steve K Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 This one takes the cake! Just a little smooshed. She went 20in 5lb 14oz. When she jumped i thought over 6 for sure. Quote
Mark Wismer Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 So Ugly and they fight so good! Quote

dwtaylor Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 That is one of the most eye pleasing sights I have ever seen. A true football. 1 Quote
Super User slonezp Posted October 15, 2011 Super User Posted October 15, 2011 A true football. I don't think this fish was even 14" long. Quote
Teal101 Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Where I fish they get that deep brown color gorging on craws. It's pretty normal. Quote
doug deike Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 I wonder if there is any difference in taste?? Quote
CSimon2 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 There are no ugly smallies out there. I think they are all gorgeous! The other day I had a buddy of mine tell me that he doesn't know why I waste my time with smallies when largemouth are so fun to catch. I asked if he ever caught one and he said no. I told him to go catch a few and he will see why I like catching them. 1 Quote
Crankenstein Crony Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 If you are calling that awesome fish ugly, I guess I'd like to see a pretty one! Never met a smallie I didn't like. And as far as Im concerned the dark dark brown smallies that almost look black are even more unique and cool in my book! 1 Quote
MaineBassMan Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Might not be prettiest coloring and might be funny looking as far as belly to length but I've never seen a 5 pound smallmouth that I thought was ugly! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 6, 2012 Global Moderator Posted January 6, 2012 I love big smallies! I don't understand how someone can think they're ugly. This is the biggest gut I've ever seen on any of the smallmouth I've ever caught. She had the tail of probably a 7-9 inch crappie sticking out of her throat, just couldn't pass up that little Lucky Craft crankbait! 1 Quote
