Got him on the shaky head, 7 inch zoom shaky head worm. Caught in the local pond known for its small population of smallies. These things do fight like crazy.

Now you know. Enjoy them.

Yeah they do some dancing on the surface but, the bigger they get, the more they want to dig in deep and head back to where they were setting. Great post.

Great catch!

Go back ,run away before its to late. It  could be the beginning of a life long uncontrollable addiction that will costs thousands in dollars and hours of time.

Kidding ! nice smallie. Great start

Congrats! Love me some smallie fishing. Between the fight and the topwater performance, cant beat it. Its quite a double edge sword with bass (largemouth and smallmouth) for in that seeing them come to the surface and jump, thrash, and tailwalk is both awesome and scary. Love to see it, but dont want the lure shook free. Man seeing a big largemouth surface with its mouth open wide, gills showing really gets the heart pumping. 

Did someone say this bass fishing thing can be addicting? 

Congrats and welcome to the club.  Once you go brown....

Sleepless nights start now

Congrats on your first brown fish. They are amazing fish to catch. Just a warning though, they can be fickle little critters, but when they're on, prepare for some heart stopping memories!
