I was hard pressed to find a "share your most recent catch" page, so....problem solved!!

I want this thread to be for sharing what you just caught today, yesterday, last weekend etc. So let's see some recent catches, folks! 

Here is the first smallmouth I've caught this year so far! They're my absolute favorite fish and I caught it on my favorite lure, a tube. It's no lunker but it was solid, put up a good fight and was already getting fat.

There is another thread of the same thing, MANY pages long. Jeff, above me, just linked you to it. It just so happens to be my favorite thread on here!

This was the Chippewa, right near where the rivers meet. She was pretty solid! Good weight too

Nice! I've never fished around phoenix park, I might have to get out there soon since that area is open for bass. What's it like over there? What would you recommend?

There's a bit of current around the park, not rapids, but moving. There's a big pool where the rivers meet too. Lots of the bottom is rocky and gravel with sand. Its snaggy unfortunately but it comes with rivers usually. 

I have pretty good luck with tubes, grubs, inline spinners, and small spinnerbaits. Tubes are my go-go-to and weedless grubs. Working eddies, slower water and hugging the shoreline.

Best of luck whenever you get there! I'm already looking forward to getting back. Don't get stuck fishing the river convergence onky. Walking up either river is always a good call fish wise and quiet wise!

Just got back for Florida this week and caught some nice ones on Okeechobee. No giants this year but some nice peacocks as usual. The peacocks down there always come through. Last year we caught most of them on topwater but the winds have been so strong lately on the east coast we caught most on jerkbaits, spinnerbaits and hairjigs in about 6-10ft of water. Good trip tho and the water is warming up quick back home in VA. Many fish are on beds and a few are even in post spawn in some areas. I will be back out this weekend getting a few more. tight-lines

There's another pretty well known popular thread on here as well, but I'll leave this hear anyway. These were the highlights of the last two weekends on the river.

Those are incredible Smallmouth! Man I wish I had the money to go on a guided trip.

Good one from the big fish tournament last weekend in Yale Va. Took the win with this 9.17.
