Trip of a lifetime – caught my first smallmouth!

I returned yesterday from a fishing trip to upstate New York. Over a two week period we fished the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, and Lake Champlain. I went with my brother and nephew who fishes the B.A.S.S. Elite series.

 

The fishing was incredible. We caught fish every day. I caught my first smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye. There is no telling how many 3-4 lb. smallmouth we caught during the trip. We also caught eleven smallmouth that topped 5 lbs. during the trip.

 

The highlight of the trip was the 5.77 lb. smallmouth I caught in Lake Ontario (pictured below).

 

We also caught quite a few largemouths on Lake Champlain.

 

I’m already planning a trip for next summer. I can understand how smallmouth fishing can be so addictive.
