My PB so far. Caught it out of Lake Michigan. Cant wait to fish them again. It was CPRed.

Nice fish, but a little dated...Time to up the ante!

well my fishing season hasn't started yet water a little too hard and open water doesn't legally start until April 1st. I didn't take many pics last season for some reason so I decided to just give a good representation of what we have here. I promise that I will take lots of pictures this season. However I actually catch more largies than smallies.

I think this was last season 2008

a few that Mrs. SMfisher caught she has broke the 21" mark a few time but hasn't caught one over 22" yet. most of these were caught last year. she hasn't fished this year. still waiting for warmer weather.

I now know that laying the fish on the boat carpet was not a good idea but it is a nice fish anyhow.

NICE SMALLIES!!!  

WOW!

nice smallie Bassbum!

Sorry guys i dont have any pics. I was out last weekend and caught my new PB which is 19-7/8in. and weighed around 4 -1/4 lbs. She had some nice markings on her. Probably the darkest smallie i remember catching.

Hmmm  :-/ something wrong with this one, thats me in the background, my girlfriend caught the big one, o well makes her enjoy fishing so I can buy more equipment.

thanks guys......our season is just starting and I got out last Saturday to dust the cobwebs off.....water was 39 degrees, and it was amazing to see some already started to push up.

coldest water I've ever gotten fish to commit to a j/b.

they did show a preference to the smaller sized (3-/1/2), and you

had to dead stick the life out of it.......but they commited with a vengenece.

I love these fish !!

Boy Bassbum, you wear your emotions on your sleeve.  From looking at your face in those pictures, you seem a little angry that you caught such nice smallmouth.  

My best for 2009 so far:

4lbs 5oz

Man, I like the color!

I like the tiger stripes on the two that you are holding in your avatar.

Wow, what a beautiful fish.  For me part of the appeal is the markings and coloration.

From a recent trip to PA with my pops. The photo of the biggest fish of the trip didn't come out too good, but here a few others.

The bottom pic is my father with a fish that only went a hair over 3lbs, but was one of the fattest fish I have ever seen.

Heres a few from Washington...

This one a freind caught two weeks ago....

Here is a swim bait smallie from the other day.

A great start to '09!

Here's my best for 2009 so far. 23" long, real dark coloration.
