gettin bent

Wonder what would be heavier in inchs? Length or girth? Seems im short a inch but my girth is a inch bigger. Would ya think a 23x19.25 is bigger then a 24 x 18.3 or reverse?

I will load one up on my fb page for ya Dwight

It was weighed on two different scales. One said 9lbs 14 ounces and the other was 9.89 lbs. I think the fish caculators very. Nothing beats the scales. I know a largie will weigh less then the smallies. Smallies are more solid and also more dense in the fleash. Caught lots around 6,7 and the occasional 8 but this one was a beast. And btw if doubting the 6,7 s check some old posts on here of mine from last year;)

Thanks Bluebasser for loading those for me.

Pics wont load for me. But there viewable on Fatal Force Outfitters facebook page

Any guess on it weight;))

No replies?? Must be one of those best kept secrets in the smallmouth world;))

This one is a beast

That PA bear is a smasher. I have this one on trail cam for years None of my clients have been able to harvest it. Our district biologist figures it will exceed well over 800 lbs and will be potential new world record if harvested. Thats a 65 gallon drum behind it mounted 10 high off the ground!!! His nick name is Barrel Crusher cause he use to flatten the top of the steel drum shut so other bears would eat his food. Smart old bear.

G5 strikers..there a fix blade and also are very effective on big game. I have taken big bears, moose and lots of whitetails with them and never had a issue. Great penetration and fly identical to a field point when you make sure you spin test them. I wouldnt shoot anything else and all my clients have switched to them for big game

Anyone here make their own custom spinnerbaits?? Looking to start making my own . Post pics if ya can of your custom baits. Intrested in how you guys are designing them

You will if ya use leeches. When i take clients after true trophy smallies leeches are our go to baits. It always ends with a smile;))

Napabass thats a beauty. Love dark coloured largies. Good job on your fish and handling. Its a trophy regardless of its weight..but its right at the 5lb mark if not more. Good job, hope you get many more this year;))

Well after a deck full of torn plastics i narrowes it down to the best bait. I had best luck drop shotting a xzone pan slammer on a small #4 hook and 4# test line and long bombing. Key here was the proper hieght for pan slammers. Thanks to all for the suggestions.

Ya take a look in the other posts, PB smallies, Big smallmouth or Ontario largies on fire. Plently of pics that 7lbers frequent that wreck. As far as keeping fish within your legal limit id agree If its legal then fill your boots. It boils down to ethics and conservation in the angler and his choices.
