Dale is much harder fishery so this triple is rare especially w/o live bait

By far my favorite. Way to catch smallmouth - dale hollow in the summer fishing from sun down til sun up sipping beers sparking stubies

Here's the only pair of smallies I bagged back in May of 2012.  No CPR though, they came home with me.

 

 

 

 

Mark your pair wins the contest for both cutest & heaviest. They need some tiger stripes though.

I don't know Dwight. I think some of your smallies might weight close. My guys are peanuts.  They have some jailbird stripes on their pants, does that count?

Here you go. A pair for a pair. Now tell everyone what walleye13 stands for. 

 

Thanks Dwight! "Walleye13" comes from my PB walleye on Bay of Quinte...13lbs-4oz. Also when and where I met Mr. Hottle who showed me those first jaw dropping pics of Lake Erie smallies.  I've been a "Dwight Disciple" ever since and now he's got me chasin "Smallie7".... 

Dwight Disciples. Lol that's awesome. T-shirt worthy for sure!

I know it says just smallmouth but since others have already broken the rules I don't feel so bad about it. I've got nothing on those Erie smallies but this is about as good as it gets in Kansas

Since you are a new daddy you get to break a few rules now & then.  Nice pair.

One more pair

You were a quick study Mr Jensen!

I know this is supposed to be smallies only, but all we have in NW Illinois this time of year are Mississippi River saugers!!

Much better eating than those darn smallies.

You were a quick study Mr Jensen!

Having a good teacher never hurt my friend!

 

Jeebus....some real hogs in here already. Anyways, here's my last double of the season, they were fun to try and control at the same time.  

A few more pairs.

 

 

Two that I caught after breaking thru 1/2 mile of ice in my little tin to get to the spot!! Not giants by any means but proud of them none the less for an end of December outing in Va!!

Very nice end of season bronze.

Thanks Dwight, I've caught bigger and lost even bigger from this body of water but that was my first multi smallie day out there!

 

This is the only picture of me holding a pair of smallmouth lol, and here is my biggest smallie... Both caught during my high school bass fishing season but separate years, you can tell which is older by the length of my hair LOL

 

 

Couple of smaller ones.
