woodnut Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 I don't know if any of you will remember this, but awhile back I posted a thread about how to work a football jig. The reason for that thread was that I had hooked a good smallmouth, got it to the boat but it got off before I could land it. Well this morning my wife and I went onto the lake bright and early. I went to the same spot and started trowing a foofball jig again, but I started seeing a few bass working the banks after shad, so I crabbed a torpedo and bam got one in the boat about 12 inches I asked the wife if see wanted one and she said she would rather stick to her worm. Ok so a few more cast and bam another in the boat about 14 inches. She said I believe I would like one of those. I rig her up and about 6 or 7 cast later I hear a thomp on top off the water and look back and she has hooked a big one. I get the net for her and when it is all said and done she caught the smallmouth that I let get away. It was 4. 2 pounds and 22 inches long. What a morning. She has been all smiles all day. I caught about 10 bass all on top water and none to compare to her's. I have pics if she will let me post. She said she didn't look her best. Ha Ha. Quote
hmongkidBee Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 that's a nice smallmouth bass. Congrats on that topwater bite. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 21, 2011 Global Moderator Posted August 21, 2011 Very nice smallmouth, and a ton of fun on topwater! My wife is the same way, she has to approve a picture that she's in before I can put it up. I always have to remind her it's fishing, not a beauty competition. Quote
woodnut Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 I had to do the same thing, but after awhile she gave in and let me put it up. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted August 21, 2011 Super User Posted August 21, 2011 Nice. Tell your wife a big smallie makes everone look better. Quote
Fat-G Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Looks like you taught her how to hold a fish right! Quote
Dave T. Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 That is one extremely nice smallmouth! Tell your wife... Congrats! Quote
Mrs. Matstone Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 They are both beautiful.. Congrats to your wife! I personally love it when the wife gets the big fish! Quote
woodnut Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 Thanks everyone she will be happy to hear the kind words. Mrs. Matstone, believe it or not I like it when she catches the big one. It makes things around the house alot smoother, I let her rub it in and then she feels sorry for me and treats me like a baby. She has done this to me twice this summer though so enough is enough I'm not taking her anymore. LOL Just kidding baby LOL. Got to pick your battles. Quote
Super User Ratherbfishing Posted August 22, 2011 Super User Posted August 22, 2011 Ooh, nice bass! Quote
