Who's fishing waters hold the most beautiful Smallies? This may have been done before but I love to see those  tattooed up fish.


fishing user avatarFlywatersmallie reply : 

Not the biggest I have ever caught, this one went around 16" but the markings were absolutely beautiful, the pictures dont do it justice to be sure

Here is my PB, it went 4.3 on my Berkley scale. Looks bigger to me, but I am most likely wrong. I should have weighed her again, but I was in a hurry it set it free.

Thanks guys!

Most people are gonna say that fish is a meanmouth/mule. I dont know. But about half of the smallies you catch at this lake look like this, and I've never caught a spot there.

fishing user avatarJCrzy4Bass reply : 

Doesn't hold a stick to most of yours, but I am proud of the catch.  Caught on the Upper Potomac River, she went a little over 2lbs.  I beat this later in the year with a 3lb 2oz, but I lost it while I was gripping the mouth trying to grab my camera out of my tackle bag on the Rappahannock River (wading).

I fish all over in NY... often at the St. Lawrence River and the lakes around Jefferson County. I get out on Ontario once and a while too. I've never fished those Adirondack lakes or the Mohawk but look forward to checking them out. So many spots so little time!

fishing user avatarretiredbosn reply : 

Here is my PB a smallie taken from the Greenbrier River, we are blest here in WV between the Greenbrier and the New River we have untold miles of prime smallie habitat. However a 4 lb smallie here is a bigun and 5lb almost unheard of. BTW the fish was right at 4lbs and was 19.5 inches long, caught in July, long after the spawn and the temp in the river was high, and the fish were somewhat stressed.

Toad2.jpg

ToddsToad.jpg

You know as I sit here and look at the pictures that fish sure doesn't look like a 4lber.  My goal this year was to break the 4lb barrier, when I caught the fish I remember thinking that I finally broke the barrier, the scale read 4.1lb, but after looking again I  may have to recalibrate my scale!!!!

I didn't take many pics last season for some reason so I decided to just give a good representation of what we have here. I promise that I will take lots of pictures this season. However I actually catch more largies than smallies.

I think this was last season 2008

a few that Mrs. SMfisher caught she has broke the 21" mark a few time but hasn't caught one over 22" yet. most of these were caught last year. she hasn't fished this year. still waiting for warmer weather.

fishing user avatarnatalex1208 reply : 

So many great photos everyone. Great to see all of those quality smallies!

my PB is a 7 lb 8 oz caught on Pickwick in Dec of 1997 when I was 18 yo. My partner and I caught 6 smallmouth and 3 largemouth (only had 10 confirmed bass bites all day) that day. The total weight was over 50 lbs for the 9. Great day in the Big Eddy!

Sadly no camera was in the boat and camera phones didn't exist that I knew of. Her image is burned into my brain though. Even if I get alzheimers her image will be one of the last things to leave. I was so nervous while fighting her I almost threw up (seriously).


fishing user avatarFish Chris reply : 

Dwight, I think you must have taken the 'Fish Chris' school of fish photography :) Had you said all you got was that 9+ lb'er your holding, I'd have probably believed it ! :) LOL

Seriously though, what a chunk ! And hey, with that black birth mark on her tail, you will know you have caught her again, when she really is 9 lbs ! :)

Stay on em' buddy :)

Not my biggest but one from this year

Took my buddy fishing one day and this was his biggest smallie

IMG00156.jpg

This is the biggest of the year caught it with my stepson. This fish has got to be one of the ugliest. But, he makes up for his dark ugly self by being a pig of a smallie

This is the biggest one I've ever caught. Not sure on the weight since my scale got water in it on that trip, but it was about 19" long so I'm thinking almost 3lbs

You guys catch some huge fish. I'm jealous! I fish in western Ontario and catch a half dozen bass over 19 inches each year, but rarely one over 20 inches and I've never caught one over 21 inches. In this thread, there are long fish and fat fish and lots of long AND fat fish. Very impressive!

Those camo pants make you look like the Big O of smallie fishing. Nice Feb smallie.


fishing user avatarjhoffman reply : 

I was bundled up pretty good that day, it was just above freezing, this fish was caught at the break of day. Theres a powerplant in front of me and behind me is the warm water discharge. I actually caught a bass that day on a piece of a red plastic bag. Never seen anything like it. You could throw any and everything into the water and catch a fish. I caught one also on a piece of pepper jack cheese from my sandwhich.

 

My buddy took me on this trip and I cant remember if his boat had a jet or not. Havent been able to get ahold of him lately. I want to run my boat there if its deep enough. You used to be able to walk to this spot pre 9/11 but they shut that down. You need a boat to get there now and theres no floating down stream. You must go up from below.
