Who's fishing waters hold the most beautiful Smallies? This may have been done before but I love to see those  tattooed up fish.

Not the biggest I have ever caught, this one went around 16" but the markings were absolutely beautiful, the pictures dont do it justice to be sure

NICE. Here is one like it small but PRETTY.

Here's two I caught over the summer. Both were under 3lbs.

Don't know how my big my biggest is. I have caught tons of 4-5 pound smallies his year and a few over 5.

One of the best looking...

Here is my PB, it went 4.3 on my Berkley scale. Looks bigger to me, but I am most likely wrong. I should have weighed her again, but I was in a hurry it set it free.

Anyone know what would make the 3rd fish of Bizzle's look like that? Never seen anything like it.

NIce fish 4bizz.

Thanks guys!

Most people are gonna say that fish is a meanmouth/mule. I dont know. But about half of the smallies you catch at this lake look like this, and I've never caught a spot there.

Candlewood???  :-X

It seems that a lot of those strange looking smallmouth pics are from California (Fish Chris has posted some that look Fourbizz's)

Doesn't hold a stick to most of yours, but I am proud of the catch.  Caught on the Upper Potomac River, she went a little over 2lbs.  I beat this later in the year with a 3lb 2oz, but I lost it while I was gripping the mouth trying to grab my camera out of my tackle bag on the Rappahannock River (wading).

Little one that is just a beauty!!

Biggest 6.4

A few others!

Non of these pics are me, but of the guys in my bass club.

Pickwick Lake - 5lb 10oz

Here are some with nice markings:

O man lots of "horses" as Al Linder would say. Sometimes the lighting is just right and the markings show up real good. Seems like after some fish have been in the livewell they get some tats then. Heres a couple that I thought looked good.
