Got out today on Canadian Thanksgiving Monday.  Very cold morning at -2C (28F) when we launched, but it warmed up nicely throughout the day.  The day was a grind overall, but landed a dozen good fish including this giant. My biggest  so far this season at 7 1/4

Heck of a Big Smallmouth ~ Congrats

Must be The Lund

Cool Pic too.

Talk about high Blue Bird Sky . . . .

I wonder if Gobies would thrive in KS.......

That's just insanity! Awesome fish! I'd love to catch a smallie that big!

  That monster belongs in a horror movie. Good job on landing that one.

I dream of catching one that big. I can only imagine the fight. Great fish, congrats!

Good gravy

Congratulations!! Heck of a fish!!!!

Yeowza!! We can only dream 

Gorgeous fish. What did you catch it on? Light tackle I hope! 

Congrats on the huge fish!!

Congrats, dude!  That is a MONSTER.  

WOW, we have no fish like that or lakes like that!  Looks like the ocean!

Beast! Congrats man! 

That's a hog! Well done. Bet that was a fun fight

Great fish, great pic!

Got her in about 28 feet of water on a rock ledge that drops into 40 or so feet.  Casting a swimbait on a 7'6M rod and 15lbs fluoro.  She ate about half way back and you know when you set the hook its a good one.  Only jumped once but dogged pretty good.  You dont realize until they're in the net, how big they are.

Definitely not the drop shot with 6lb fluoro I stereotyped the fish being caught with!

Wow.  Did I saw Wow?  For all intent and purposes, Wow.  That's special, and to be caught on a black Jitterbug in 60 feet of water.....it's even more impressive.  Happy Thanksgiving !!

Awesome. So if that is your biggest of the year, I gotta ask, what the heck is your PB smallie?

That's bigger than the dreams of most smallie guys.

Congratulations!

WOW!!!

We don't grow them like that down here.
