Was at the st. joe river today, fishing for walleyes with grubs. Air temp was 30 degrees, and it was windy and sunny. The water was heavily stained. Anyways, i was there for a little while, and eventually switched up a little, with a lighter jighead, and different grub. First cast, fish on! Thought it was a decent walleye, but turned out to be my first smallie of the year! No measurements/weight, but im guessing close to 3 lbs. The bass usually dont move into this section of the river (below the dam) until the spawn/pre spawn.

My fishin buddy hooked into a "monster steelhead", which turned out to be a 15 lb+ carp. Put up a helluva fight.

Good job out there. You dont even try for the bass and yet you still get them.

Great fish! I wish i could catch 'em like that!

Congrats on a great looking fish.

awesome smallie, and a snowy backdrop, awesome!!
