Got out today on Canadian Thanksgiving Monday. Very cold morning at -2C (28F) when we launched, but it warmed up nicely throughout the day. The day was a grind overall, but landed a dozen good fish including this giant. My biggest so far this season at 7 1/4
Heck of a Big Smallmouth ~ Congrats
Must be The Lund
Cool Pic too.
Talk about high Blue Bird Sky . . . .

I wonder if Gobies would thrive in KS.......
That's just insanity! Awesome fish! I'd love to catch a smallie that big!
That monster belongs in a horror movie. Good job on landing that one.
I dream of catching one that big. I can only imagine the fight. Great fish, congrats!
Good gravy
Congratulations!! Heck of a fish!!!!
Yeowza!! We can only dream
Gorgeous fish. What did you catch it on? Light tackle I hope!
Congrats on the huge fish!!
Congrats, dude! That is a MONSTER.
WOW, we have no fish like that or lakes like that! Looks like the ocean!
Beast! Congrats man!
That's a hog! Well done. Bet that was a fun fight
Great fish, great pic!

Good golly Miss Molly that's a chunky smallie!

Got her in about 28 feet of water on a rock ledge that drops into 40 or so feet. Casting a swimbait on a 7'6M rod and 15lbs fluoro. She ate about half way back and you know when you set the hook its a good one. Only jumped once but dogged pretty good. You dont realize until they're in the net, how big they are.

Definitely not the drop shot with 6lb fluoro I stereotyped the fish being caught with!
Wow. Did I saw Wow? For all intent and purposes, Wow. That's special, and to be caught on a black Jitterbug in 60 feet of water.....it's even more impressive. Happy Thanksgiving !!
Awesome. So if that is your biggest of the year, I gotta ask, what the heck is your PB smallie?
That's bigger than the dreams of most smallie guys.
Congratulations!
WOW!!!
We don't grow them like that down here.

8 pounder last fall
That is one nice smallie
I'm hoping that I can learn to catch smallies that are half that weight
Congrats
