I only noticed the size of that tail. Man, that's a great fish!

looks very healthy

5 1/2 to me maybe bigger

hard to say depending on the size of belly, looks really fat though.

How big you think the one is of me in the white shirt?

Hard to tell but I'd give it at least 5lb

Nice fish brother...

That fish in the last picture, looks bigger?

Closer to 6lbs then 5, or just over...

Did you have the fish on the ground or is that a fungus on the fish?

Either way it's a hog!

No, not fungus - that's sand from me landing the fish from shore by sliding him up onto a beach shoreline. I release all my fish within 2 minutes of catching them so no harm done.

yellowcard129...Like to hear how you caught that night time one, smallie???

Nice fish! ;)

Yeah,  that one at night I caught on a spinnerbait.  I cast out and let it sink to the bottom.  Then slowly jerk it along the bottom and it seems to get a bite here and there when just a normal retrieve isnt working. You gotta change it up, I casted in that exact spot 15 times trying different retrieves before that one finally hit.

Like a yo-yo retrieve.

I am on my way, can you put me on them?

Wow great fish. We have smallies in the rivers down in Illinois but rarely will you ever hear about any that size.

Those are some great small mouths. Congratulations.
