Anyone ever fish these waters? Had any success?   I am convinced that these waters hold some trophy smallmouth and rock bass.  My cousin caught and released a rock bass that, if we would have known the state record rock bass size and weight at that time,  probably would have not been thrown back.  We were both confident that it would have given the existing record holder a run for it's money.  How big would a smallmouth caught out of one of these "small streams" and "creeks"  have to be before you consider it a wallhanger?  3lbs? 4lbs?

Nine pounds at least.
