TAUMI Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 My biggest was 6.1 lb and 21.5”. Caught her in early July around 8 pm using a Z-man green pumpkin TRD. Caught her at the mouth of Lake Michigan. She didn’t fight too hard until she got near the boat. Then it was on, she dove a couple of times before we netted her. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steveo-1969 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 My biggest smallmouth was 21.5”. I don’t weigh my fish so no idea how heavy she was. I caught it on a skirted finesse jig from my local river. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulVE64 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Little island just about as far out as I could accurately cast a 110 whopper plopper on a 7ft mf Avid. Unbenounced to me there was a deep trough next to this island with a monster in wait. I'm sure he saw it coming cause it barely hit the water and he snatched it up with intent. Wow, what a fast fish. He was fat and all of 22" and he knew every piece of rebar and jagged rock edge available to him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get that GoPro friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately nothing was sent to iCloud, I'm guessing due to lack of service in that area. Considering another GoPro, will see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Baron Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 My son holds the official weight SMB title in our house - 5lb. 7oz. caught on a Berkley MaxScent Flatnose Minnow in green pumpkin, on a drop shot. My best last year (22" - no scale with me, lucky for my son. lol ) was on a Heddon One Knocker spook in Bone color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogface Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I could not tell you how big my biggest SM was but I can tell you about two SM my son caught because they were both weighed. I belong to a gun club in SE PA. Many years ago they ran a fishing contest each year for members. The biggest fish of each species won. My sons would enter as juniors. Any fish entered had to be measured and weighed at the club or a Brinkman's Tackle shop in Philly. We were wading the upper Delaware on day and I spied a good-looking boulder. I told my son who was about 12 then to cast his nightcrawler to the far side of the boulder and work it around the back and down stream. He did and hooked a big SM. He landed the SM. I told him to try it again thinking there was more than one. He did and landed a second monster. It was a monster considering that a 2 lb fish from that stretch of river in those days was "big". He weighed both fish into the club contest. One in the junior contest and one in the adult contest. One was 5 lb, 1 oz and the second was 5lb, 2oz. He won both contests. Those two SM were the biggest SM I have ever seen come out of the upper Delaware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
