I have been trying for years to break the 4lb mark. I finally did it! My woman and I spent two really nice days slayin' the smallies here in Maine and we both had great luck. I caught 15 for the two days and she caught 8. We had luck using Timber Tigers, Huddlebugs, and Hula Grubs on Chomper heads, but the money lure was my old go to- the gold Husky Jerk (HJ10). My new PB was just over 19" and weighed in at 4lbs 5oz. Here's a photo.

The above was the original post, but after fishing today I realized that my scale got ruined somehow. I somehow managed to calibrate it all wrong. The fish was probably not 4lb 5oz so I have to retract that. I know it was 19" because I have at least a little faith in my skills with a ruler. Oh well... I guess I'll just have to stick with my old PB of 3lb 13oz. Nice fish nonetheless.

Man, that's as good as it gets.

Congratulations!

Nice fish. They are fun, aren't they?

Congrats on the PB. Nice fish! 8-)

Hey either way you caught one and it's a nice fish.  

Sweet! Nice Looking Fish!

Great photo dude! That's a real good looking smallie. I wouldn't fret much about the weight of it, I always go by length on smallmouth, and 19" is a darn good smallie anywhere.
