ghogan52 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Went to Pickwick today and caught my PB smallmouth of 6 pounds. Total of our best five smallmouths today was 19 pounds. Thanks RW for sharing your knowledge and advice. Quote

flyhatch Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Nice Catch, I like the dark coloring in contrast to the Lake Erie versions. I can only imagine the power that those river fish posess. Quote

Super User smalljaw67 Posted February 21, 2012 Super User Posted February 21, 2012 Great job !!!!!! If you don't mind sharing, what'd she hit on? Quote
ghogan52 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks everyone. I was drifting below the dam using 4 lb test YoZuri line fishing live minnows. You really can't rush a fish in on that light line and is it constantly pulling your drag. Thanks to RW for going with me a few times and showing me the correct technique for Tennesse River smallmouth. This is my first winter fishing for them, but it won't be my last. Quote
Pete-K Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Nice fish, I went to buy minnows, But the guy in front of me has cleaned them out of the bigger size minnows. so I got some smaller ones and went to the lake. Pete Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted February 24, 2012 Super User Posted February 24, 2012 congrats, beautiful fish Quote
fishingfourfun Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Sweet fish, I hope to catch my first smallies very soon! Quote
MaineBassMan Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Wow!! what an awesome smallmouth you have there! I've caught 19 lbs 5 fish bag limits of smallmouth before but there wasn't any 6 pounders in that bag LOL. Oh one of these days, one of these days may the fishing gods shine down on me and bless me with a 6 pound smallmouth! Way to go man! Quote
ghogan52 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Posted February 26, 2012 It was a fun day of fishing. I don't know if I will ever catch one bigger but I do know there are some bigger ones roaming around in the Tennessee river. I will keep tryin though. I almost jumped out of the boat when we got this one in the net. It was really exciting when you first see a fish this size come to the surface. Quote
