I turned 15 todayand what a present I got 8-) Got out on Pickwick today to practice for a club tournament next weekend. Got on em good, fished gravel points and caught 8 or 9 largemouth from 2-4lbs on gravel points. Boat was sitting in anywhere from 10-30ft of water and was throwing into less than a foot and dragging a shaky head back out. Well after catching all those Largemouth on the traditionally smallmouth habitat we cruised around a gravel point and into a pocket and started throwing at isolated pieces of brush and such in about 5 feet of water. I felt a little bitty tick on my line and it just started inching away. I set the hook and immediatly knew it was big. It wasn't until it was right next to the boat that I realized it was a big smallie. As soon as it was in the net I freaked. By far the biggest smallmouth I've ever caught. Might not be huge to some folks but it sure is to me.

She went 5lbs 2oz and full of eggs. Caught on a 1/4oz shaky head with a black trick worm The picture doesnt do it justice but to put it in perspective, I'm 6ft tall and it covered the length of my torso.

I'd say that's an awesome birthday present.  Doesn't sound like the day could have been much better.  Congratulations and Happy Birthday!
