Well, despite the all day rain when it was supposed to sunny and 75 ( It's Dec. 12 so I'm not really complaining) I went fishing. Good thing I did, because shortly after I got started I caught this beauty on a 1/8oz shaky head and a zoom finesse worm. 4lb even. I still cannot capture the true patterns on these fish with my crap camera, but this is not only the biggest smallie I've caught, it's the prettiest.  

Oh, it was on Wilson Lake, on the Tenn. River. Around 11am, water temps around 57 degrees.

That's one beaut of a smallie! Wish I could fish right now   Just got 12" of snow on top of single digit temps here in MA, so I guess it's going to be awhile before I can wet a line again. Congradulations on your PB though!

No, I caught it on the main lake, but took the pic at a buddy's dock (Not on Donegan, but close!). It was  pouring down rain when I landed him, so I brought him back for a pic, then let him go.
