timsford reply :
Sadly i dont have one. Id give anything to have a pic of that fish but i was fishing alone at daybreak and didnt want to kill her for just a pic. I put her on a stringer and waited for someone else to come along so they could hold my phone and take a pic of with it but after 2 hours of waiting it was getting hot and i worried i was stressing her too bad and let her go. I knew no one would ever believe me but that's what it weighed on a digital scale. It was worth no proof to see her swim away but i still go there almost every weekend hoping to catch her again and i wouldnt have the chance if i had kept her for a pic or a mount. Now i always have a buddy with me bevause next time im definitely getting a pic if i catch one over 5
tytay89 reply :
U put it on stinger and no pics????? id take a hundred "selfies" until I got the right one and filmed it swimming away with one hand, or even laid it on the golden ruler...... To get a replica all u need is the girth, length and a crappy photo....especially if u never get another lol I might call bull in that...

Will Wetline reply :
My biggest, 6.3 lbs, ate a 4" spider grub on a rocker head jig early pre spawn in '95. The picture came out poorly so I'll put up #2 at 6.0 which took a 4" Slimsenko wacky rigged in June of 2012.

Looks like Big Rideau, or is it Newboro? 
Tim Kelly reply :
Indian actually, but close! Love that place.
somebassguy reply :
6-12 on a spinnerbait from Mullett Lake in the fall. The smallie had a bigger belly than me! I lost its twin on the very next cast to the same spot! Jumped off though how a bass that looks like it swallowed a large nerf football can clear the water is beyond me!?! Fattest smallie I've ever caught though not as big a belly as the one Kim Stricker caught on his Green Bay show.

cbass12 reply :
3.96 on a football jig. Stopped at the ramp for lunch and made a cast down the submerged rock wall that continues after the walkway stops. One of the hardest thumps I've ever felt on a jig, thought it was a drum at first.
steverowbotham reply :
Can't find a pic of my biggest right now, I think it's on another hard drive. But this one took big fish in our club classic a few years ago. We lost by 0.05 lbs. Great fish!
Zippyduck Krimm reply :
A 7# on a black spinnerbait at night. No pictures since it was caught in 1989 and had an old style film camera back then and picture has been lost. Got it on the wall the only bass I have kept in 45 years of fishing.
ww2farmer reply :
6lbs even, May 2008, caught on a 3" watermelon red flake yum dinger on a drop shot rig off a bed, on my home lake (Silver lake). While I have hundreds of 5+ lb largemouth, and quite a few over six out of that lake , that smallie, was the first, and one of only a hand full of 5+ lb brown fish I have caught the last 10 years there. I have caught a lot of big smallmouth there, but they almost all seem to top out in the upper 4lb range for me. It's been about 3-4 years since I had a 5+ brown fish, maybe this is the year I get another, I'm due LOL.
kikstand454 reply :
I can't believe i can actually join this discussion finally!
20 yrs ago....I caught one around 5lbs out of the Greenbriar river in WVA. I had no proof other than my brother who was there. Well. .... finally. ....after 20yrs of missing my family reunion- I made it up there last week and on the final day of my liscence, I caught this guy on a watermelon/chart roboworm t-rigged on a 1/8oz lead.
I'm not 100% sure on the size- but rough estimate is 18-19 inches and pushing 4lbs maybe? I'm so ridiculously happy I finally have a pic of me and a smallie!
MikeA57 reply :
When I was 7 years old (back around 1965) we had gone camping on the shore of Dale Hollow Lake and I hooked into a 3+ lb smallmouth. Got 'er in and my Dad said that we'd get it mounted since it was such a nice one. We put it in the basket and overnight it somehow escaped (basket had a spring top on it so we figure that there was some hanky panky going on, not the fish just escaping). I've wondered over the years whether it was an inside job once he realized how much it was going to cost to get that fish mounted. Sure wish we could have though...
On a more recent note I went fishing at Pickwick a couple of weeks ago with my fireman buddy who is either at the firehouse or the lake and he caught this one about 10 minutes after I got out there with him. He'd been fishing all day, I didn't get there until late in the evening and we were going out the next morning. It wasn't a trophy but it was a nice, pretty smallmouth.

I have caught many 18 and 19"ers in a small river (no more than 15 yards wide, and rarely deeper than 6') that I can walk to from my house, I just can't break that 20" Virginia citation mark. I fish for them every year pre spawn when they migrate up to this one pool below a huge rapid from where an old mill was at some point in time, it's about a 2 week window and then they are gone until next spring. Sorry the photo is tiny, BR won't let me post a larger one.

Zach Dunham reply :
4 lb 13 oz in October 2010, caught at Beltzville State Park, PA. Caught on a white spinnerbait in 3 feet of water during a big rain storm. Don't mind the dinky striper in the picture.
MichiganBass80 reply :
Just caught this one today. 3.2 on a dropshot using a green pumpkin KVD dreamshot. I'm just getting into fishing for smallies. Fished Lake St. Clair once this year but didn't catch anything this big. I flipped the dropshot up by a dock, it hit and took off but it spit the hook. I let it sit, but it was windy and the boat was drifting right toward my line. I was going to start reeling in when I seen the fish coming towards the line(only about 10ft of water and it was pretty clear). I layed off the trolling motor and waited, it eventually took the dreamshot again. By that time it was pretty much UNDER the boat.
(not a great pic here, my dad is what you would call technologically challenged lol, I had to do some editing because it was too dark)
NathanW reply :
6.25lbs. On a Dry Creek Tube. Moses Lake, Wa. 2010.
starweldpro16 reply :
6.6 lbs on a Chartreuse Galida Grub and a stand-up jig. That was 20 years ago. Unfortunately the camera of the day was roll film and my one pic has long since been lost. I can feel her on the line like it was yesterday though. What a fighter! Gotta love big Smallies.

You'll need to resize (smaller) the picture to meet the limitations of the site.
You'll figure it out.
