Jsinkic reply :
Those are some big fish! Side note to have a correct measurement don't you have to have the mouth closed?
Further North reply :
Here's a couple from NW WI
BigSkyBasser reply :
Gorgeous fish! One reason why I love catching those big smallies, the color is unreal.
Further North reply :
That lake produces some awesome color. If I wak up early enough, I'm headed up there again in the AM.

Are you on one of the northern chains or the great lakes? I've heard you can stick footballs up there that push 8-9 pounds.

I'm in NW WI, a bit north of Eau Claire.
That particular lake is not a chain.
As far as the great lakes go, Sturgeon Bay produces some big fish, as do some of the bays on Lake Superior. One that I know of has a 23" minimum.
WdyCrankbait reply :
WOW! Ok, I'm moving up north! We have smallmouth here in VA, but these pictured here just dwarf them. Great catches!
Further North reply :
There's som big girls in that lake...
Just a hair shy of 22 3/4", a nudge over 6 lbs.
Joycer81 reply :
This is my personal best smallie that came out of Lake Ontario in Canada. This football was 21 inches long and weighed six pounds eight ounces, doubt I will ever catch one that big again.

Hey, I live in Eau Eau claire myself. Mind me asking what lake you caught all the smallies out of? I'm hoping to expand my range a bit and fish new spots more next season.

Happy to share - shoot me a private message and I'll let you know off line. I don't want the lake to show up on a search engine and get clobbered by everyone and their brother.

I've never seen a smallie with a defined gut before. That is awesome! Great fish!
Bluebasser86 reply :
My personal fattest smallie had a 8-9 inch crappie tail in it's throat and still tried to eat my crankbait.

Still love this picture! Idk if you remember, but you gave me a few lake tips for here by eau claire last winter. I won't name it here, but I got up there a couple times and caught a few good fish. Sadly the days we were out were less than favorable for canoe fishing, windy and such. Made it tough to really fish slow.
I'm gonna have to get there more next year! Takes some time to figure out the waters without electronics.
Happy new year,
Nik
