I'm catching more smallmouth as I fish off-shore more and I think they also like my weightless soft plastic lures. Here are two from this morning:

    Smallies are a blast. You’re lucky to have both in your pond(s). Around here I have to go wading in creeks and rivers to find them!

    They are fun. I know that bass anglers who boat both brown and green fish commonly say that smallmouth are better fighters. Having caught thousands of each, I disagree. I think they fight differently. Hooking an lmb is like hooking a three-quarter ton pickup. Lots of low end torque for pulling power. Hooking a smallie is like hooking a mid-engine vette. Lots of high end rpms and the ability to corner like it's on rails.

    Different.

    Both fun.
