Hello! I just got back from a youth tournament at Candlewood Lake in CT. I caught a smallie just shy of 5 lbs. I know for many of you that isn't a giant, but I've put so much work into my tournaments with poor results, so I'm pretty proud of it. Pictures will come shortly.

Congratulations on your big smallmouth bass.

Congrats on your new pb. 

Trust me, a five pound smallie is something to brag about anywhere in the US and Canada. Congrats. Can't wait to see the photo of that big pig. 

A smallie 4+ is a beast period. Congrats!!

Just shy of 21" I had to crop out my head because, naturally, I was making a weird face. It's hard to scale, but I promise it was a big girl

Beautiful fish man congrats!!!!

Love the color on that hawg. 

Nice Smallie ~

Congrats

As you should be. Congrats. 

Congrats! A 5lb smallie is a trophy anywhere!  

Like I have always said.....Smallmouth are fisherman's crack!!  Great Catch!!  

That's a great fish, especially in an area that isn't known for big ones

Candlewood Lake is THE lake for big smallies in Connecticut. It ain’t Lake Erie, but it ain’t bad.

 

Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection considers a Trophy smallmouth bass to be four pounds (if weighed) or 21 inches in length (if catch and release only).

 

That’s a really nice fish!

Great fish, love the colors!
