I finally caught a smallmouth! The rivers in my area have just been too high to kayak until now, and the fish hadn't migrated up into the small river near my house, but after the crazy flood receded, the smallies were here. My first smallmouth was actually about 10" long but the 2nd one was much more impressive. She measured 18" long, I caught her on a 5" yum dinger texas rigged with a 1/8oz weight (lots of current). Hopefully the fishing will get a better after the water goes down a little more...Here are the photos:

Also caught a chunky largemouth
