One BIG smallmouth!
« on: June 06, 2011, 07:18:11 PM »
I wish I could take credit for this monster but I cannot. I can, however, share it with you guys and gals.

My buddy is a bass fishing maniac and dragged this one to the bank today. He brought it by in a cooler full of water to let my son and I take a look before he took it for measurements for a replica mount.

It tipped the scales at 5lbs 14oz and is IMPRESSIVE! My son is 4' 1", 47lbs to give you a little perspective.

FYI: She was indeed released and is doing well. We never keep the big females this time of year and my buddy was very careful to make sure she was not harmed and was released alive.
