great pix and great job.  congrats to ya both.

Great job! I love catching smallies.

Congrats on a good mess of fish.  What's up with the long sleeves?  I'm sweating just looking at you guys.  Fricking 90 degrees here.

I forgot to mention that we were sight fishing beds.  It was a long, exact, and demanding way to fish, but man was it ever rewarding!  I caught mine after fishing a half an hour for it.  It wouldn't hit the bait naturally so I finally dropped it on his head and he hit it out of reaction or just being angry.

It was in the low 60's here today, and we wear long sleeves because we fish around alot of poison ivy. :'(

Great day fishing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

are ur rivers receding because here in iowa the mississippi and maquoketa, and wapsie are still very high, congrats. where u fishing off the bank? what were they striking on?

take it easy on those fishes jaws when holding them. you really got that bigger fish cocked up and you could easily dislocate its jaw and not even know it. handle your fish with care.

Awesome day for ya, great pics of some nice smallies!

Yea the water is starting to go down. It is still pretty high, but it has been high for so long that the water has cleared up.  We are just fishing in eddies where there are shallow flats.  I caught mine on a crawfish imitation.  My cousin's was caught on live bait.

That fish was my cousins.  I always take good care of trophy fish.

GREAT BRONZED BEAUTIES!  SOUNDS LIKE A FUN DAY!
