That's one heck of a retriever you've got there. How'd you train him to catch them fish? J/K....good lookin' dog and nice fish too.

My 3 best smallmouth. These were caught in Oregon over the past few years. I wish we had more smallies here in So Cal  

4-2 caught in the Willamete(sp?) River

4-4 caught in the Columbia River

4-4 also in the Columbia on the same day

Lake erie smallie

O MAN what a fish. I like that color also almost gold.

Man, there are alot of good looking smallies being posted.

Just a few of my better ones from upstate New York in '08....not the Great Lakes! All are 5+ with the biggest being just under 6 on my Berkley scale. I have a bunch more but they are "self portraits" and very poor quality.

Here are some with good markings...and some without.

I fish all over in NY... often at the St. Lawrence River and the lakes around Jefferson County. I get out on Ontario once and a while too. I've never fished those Adirondack lakes or the Mohawk but look forward to checking them out. So many spots so little time!

i have one word... PIGS!

DANG!!! THEM WAS SOME HAWGS!!!   :o

Here is my PB a smallie taken from the Greenbrier River, we are blest here in WV between the Greenbrier and the New River we have untold miles of prime smallie habitat. However a 4 lb smallie here is a bigun and 5lb almost unheard of. BTW the fish was right at 4lbs and was 19.5 inches long, caught in July, long after the spawn and the temp in the river was high, and the fish were somewhat stressed.

You know as I sit here and look at the pictures that fish sure doesn't look like a 4lber.  My goal this year was to break the 4lb barrier, when I caught the fish I remember thinking that I finally broke the barrier, the scale read 4.1lb, but after looking again I  may have to recalibrate my scale!!!!
