I have never been fishing for smallmouths. I would love too, but we don't grow them down here.

My biggest catfish was 23.3 on Lake O'Pines. everybody was posting two fish so I could only throw in a bass and catfish. ;D :-/

Stratoscaster:  You have noticed, haven't you, that the reason 10% of the fishermen catch 90% of the fish is that those 10% do 90% of the fishing?
