This is a legal size smallmouth in Michigan, and it weighed only .87lbs. I was the bump master at this weigh in. The guy in the grey shirt caught it and thought he caught a pan fish until it got close to the boat. Then when it was measured...he just started laughing cause it was 14 1/4" long. The only fish he caught that was legal....lol :

Hmm...

I don't post comments about tournament guys anymore...

:

That fish is skinny.  Looks terrible. :-/

Why did he bother weighing in?????

I woulda packed up and gone home before weighing that in

Cass Lake, in Michigan is where that and more like it came in for wiegh in.  5 fish for just over 4lbs...oh it was bad.  I am not a fan of that lake one bit.  On a good note though..big bass was over 4lbs and the team had 13lbs....wonder where they found those fish...lol

You could probably read a newspaper through that fish-before you wrapped it in it. ;D

I think some studies need to be done on that lake if there are more fish like that one.

that bass needs Dr. Phil

By the way can you make your pic bigger please...that thing is like a train wreck...you just can't look away

man. as my papa would say,"that one's on the slimfast diet" haha

I saw that picture of you on another website and I actually told myself, "The only lake with smallies that tiny is Cass Lake."  I did manage a couple nice 3.5 lb'ers while prefishing there last year which made me concentrate on the brown fish on tournament day.  What a mistake!

Don't feel bad. I have weighed in several fish less than a pound at tournaments.

I would of been embarrassed but every ounce counts! :

X2 I'd rather be embarrased than find out I lost by an ounce because I threw back a midget!
