Who's Jedd? A new moderator?

My condolences.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

My condolences to you & your family.

Great smallie.

A-Jays first Erie May pair 2015.

Owner hyperweld snaps are rated at 26lb, 33lb & 46lb.

X2 There are very few magical baits but there are many more magical locations. You can't catch what isn't there. Location first bait choice second.

South Ga.

25' of rope should cover all your needs.

This fish 14lbs-8.5oz came out of a 7 acre pond.

I lost one out of the boat in Florida last April. A very expensive combo so I feel your pain.

Nice pairs Will & Brad.

If the pond your fishing is in central Florida there are no smallmouth in Florida.

Great recap of a great day.

Congrats on the new PB. Well done.

I use Owner hyper welded quick snaps and Luhr Jensen duo lock. Never had a snap failure in a lot of years.

Good luck with the surgery & a speedy recovery.

Great opener.

Lunds & scratches go together at least my old Lund did. Good outing.

Drift fishing with jerk baits is hard to beat. You can use a drop shot or vertical jig/blade bait approach if the fish are tight to bottom. The whole idea of drift fishing is to cover water, let the wind help work your bait & most importantly keep the bait in the water rather than cast & retrieve constantly.

I don't blame you for being proud Mike she sounds just awesome.

Glad you got out Chris you needed it badly. Cool outing with your daughter too.

Great report. WTG!

PB's are always sweet.
