My Best Four Smallies Today 2025
Dwight Hottle reply :
Went out by myself today hoping to find some clear water & hungry bass. Since the water had cleared nicely overnight I decided to try a shallow jerkbait & a deep jerkbait. Dead sticked the deep & worked the shallow. Hit my first fish of the day & was pleasantly surprised. 22.5" by 16" girth. She weighed 6lb-7oz. Second fish hit the shallow jerkbait. 5lb-8oz. Switched the deep jerk to a 2nd shallow bait. Third fish hit the previously hot bait. She weighed 5lb-6oz. Fourth fish hit the newly switched out shallow bait. She weighed 5lb-15oz. I thought I was on a roll. Kept trying for the fifth bass but it turned out to be walleye, dinner. The bite quit as the wind blew from the east & dropped the surface temp from a starting temp of 50-51 degrees to 47-48 degrees. Best day this year for quality.

WOW! Those things are giant. My best four largemouth of a day wouldn't even come close to that.
RoLo reply :
INCREDIBLE!
On second thought, with your ability Dwight and with solid momentum in your court,
I've actually come to expect it. Here's hoping for a 7¼- lb bronzeback (inside rouse)

And I'll smile right with ya !
As outrageous as an 8 lb smallie sounds - with the roll you're on this spring, I for one, would not be surprised.

Dwight,
I have to ask...aren't you getting bored with catching all those hawgs?
BTW...this is probably old news but I saw your name and picture in In Fisherman Magazine for some MA smallmouths.
Congratulations!!!
And as always, Thanks for sharing.

The Bassinator reply :
I feel like you should put the title for this post in every post you make since clearly you catch a smallmouth the size of my leg or bigger everytime you even just look at the water! You gotta great fishery out there and you obviously know how to fish it. Great Fish!!!
