This is one fat smallie!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I saw this on the Wildy feed. That's crazy!

It's not a tuma...

If you're of the 'match-the-hatch' persuasion, I suppose you're now throwing t-rigged soccer balls.

Go with a size 4 for finesse, lol.

that is unreal man.  i'd be afraid the fish might explode if i handled it too much!

Caught on the New River in Virginia. That was not the big fish for the tournament. It was not weighed because the guy did not have a scale. The tournament used length measurements rather than weight. 

lol chit 

 

That's a biggun. Did Raider die and reincarnate as a michigan smallie?

that's typical for the kayak tournaments to only measure and not weigh....  sometimes misleading like this situation probably was.

i floated the southern stretch of this once in the NC area of the New River and the thing was darker than chocolate milk yet it hadn't rained in weeks!  May have to head back up there and look for these basketball smallies.

I hope that girl doesn't have something blocking her intestines

If I wasn't a bass angler, I would so totally see what was inside that fish......

What is that thing? How much did it weigh, anybody know?

Nevermind just saw someone say they only used measurements.

clearly that smallie was involved in some ill conceived hot dog eating contest! 

Dang! That bass swallowed a football.

 

Maybe it was a deflated one that made it to VA from MA...

Wow,  thats a gut!

She definitely missed that one. I think tomustang hit the nail on the head with his comment about a blockage. 

That's how I feel after dinner at Golden Corral.
