Hey y'all smallmouth nuts maybe you already heard about this fish but I wanted to share it with you. I've caught a LOT of 5-6lb smallmouth bass in my day and even a 7 which was my personal best. But this fish was in a while other league. Eyes bulging the body just kept on going and the tail looked like a dang sail. Here are the pictures I hope you enjoy them as much as I do every single day lol. 

Thing had the mouth the size of a 7lb largemouth 

Congrats! That is a great looking smallmouth, looks to be in peak condition! Wonder how old that bass is? Did you happen to get a length on that fish?

Congrats, fish of a lifetime

what you get it on? i've only broken 5 twice both in the same day.  still cant get over this fish, so epic dude, once again congrats

 

Congrats! 

Congratulations! That is an amazing catch. Great job grinding that one location! Attention to detail and persistence pays off! Especially with smallmouth!

Appreciate that! 

Somebody always has something negative to say...and it eats me up. Awesome fish. Most will never catch a largie that big.

Congrats Brian. Would have been a much sweeter pic if you were wearing your fuzzy pink hat. Haven't seen you fish with Maina or Gillespie in awhile. Planning on anymore shows? 

It is a very nice fish and I’m not questioning the weight, congrats however I do notice a bit of long arming in the pic? Just saying.?
