Lots of little small lakes in SO IL that produce fish like this with some regularity.

Welcome!  I promise not to horn in on your spot but where, in Southern Illinois, are there smallmouth?    Surely not the Big Muddy.

They stocked them in Kincaid a few years back and they shocked a 16.5 inch keeper out of there last year. 

I'm just glad that the muskey didn't eat all of them.

None of those fish are from kinkaid, I chase a lot of river smallmouth over in Missouri in my free time.  Can't wait until they get a little bigger and more numerous in Kinkaid.
