We got on the water at 9:20am and we left at 2:00pm because I'm feeling pretty sick. Once again the darn cranks and suspending jerk baits are smoking hot. We caught 24 smallmouth bass for the day. They were very healthy looking and feeding heavily. Every single bass we caught either had a big bait fish sticking out its throat or a crawfish. We only took pictures of three pound bass or better so our total was eight over three and one over four. Our five biggest bass weighed 4lbs 01oz(mine and was the last fish of the day), 3lbs 15oz, 3lbs 11oz., 3lbs 10oz. and 3lbs 09oz. for a total of 18lbs 14oz. As we were leaving the fishing was getting better. When I caught the 4lbs 01oz. bass at the landing there were about a dozen more bass chasing him around trying to get the bait from him.

Oh! and boy were they fighting today, jumping and pulling. You would get them next to the boat and you thought you had them beat and then they would pull for the bottom again. Its hard to beat the fight of a smallmouth!!

If I look like I'm standing kind of funny its because of that old men and cameras thing again. I have to jump into the frame. ;D

My 4lbs 01oz. smallmouth he had my jerk bait and just got done swallowing a big crawfish! My biggest smallmouth for 2010 so far 8-)

This is my lucky crank, lost both eyes and the paint is gone but it just keeps getting better with age

EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys rock!

                                  

Way to get on 'em!

fantastic.  excellent pix too.  what a trip!

Thanks, its a little bit of a trip to this lake but I keep going there because one of these days I believe that I'm going to break 5 pounds on a smallmouth here. I honestly think I may even be able to get close to six pounds here, but that might be pushing it a little.

It is a pretty clear lake and I have seen some bruisers cruising around that I can't get to bite.
