Creature bait on the JigRig. Matter of fact, I have a video on this catch too.

From 2011 here's my better fish...ENJOY!!

4.5 pounds from NJ

My buddy Tom's MONSTER SLOB 5.5 NJ Smallie!!

It is kinda of funny but it is hard to find one of those pretty smally pics when you want to. Every lake I fish the smallies have a little different pattern of colors some are really tattooed up and others are not it also seems that the early spring bass have the more brillant markings too!

Here is a live well full of tourney smallmouths and you can see a difference between fish on the same body of water.

This should be enough, lol. This was a pretty bass thread and not your largest right?

My father

A friends biggest at 5lbs 08 oz

Here's a healthy fish from Massachusetts' waters:

That's a beauty!

:respect-059:

Not monsters but 2 nice smallies I caught this year. One on a Rat L Trap and another on a Yum Wolly Bug.

how do i attach a pic?

Sorry, heres the 2.

My PB caught in a retention pond of a housing subdivision

Here's a couple that I caught yesterday...someone earlier called them "tatooed" : PERFECT adjective . Gotta love the Brownies...

Here's a couple from last Spring. I've caught several bigger ones, but these are my most recent good ones + I thought the photos came out spot on Took these shots of myself, by myself

6.3 lbs

7.2 lbs

Peace,

Fish

Love the color of those two, Chris.

Heres a beast that came out of the water north of the border.. 8.3 lbs.. plenty more where that came from too

Thank you JF

HookSetDon, that is a beast ! What a frame on that monster ! Cool

Here is my best a little over 5lbs. Sorry for the crappy picture. All I have is a camera phone.

Best for this year so far. 6lbs-15oz.

So many great photos everyone. Great to see all of those quality smallies!

my PB is a 7 lb 8 oz caught on Pickwick in Dec of 1997 when I was 18 yo. My partner and I caught 6 smallmouth and 3 largemouth (only had 10 confirmed bass bites all day) that day. The total weight was over 50 lbs for the 9. Great day in the Big Eddy!

Sadly no camera was in the boat and camera phones didn't exist that I knew of. Her image is burned into my brain though. Even if I get alzheimers her image will be one of the last things to leave. I was so nervous while fighting her I almost threw up (seriously).

Dwight, I think you must have taken the 'Fish Chris' school of fish photography Had you said all you got was that 9+ lb'er your holding, I'd have probably believed it ! LOL

Seriously though, what a chunk ! And hey, with that black birth mark on her tail, you will know you have caught her again, when she really is 9 lbs !

Stay on em' buddy

Here a few including my PB of just over 5 pounds from Pickwick/ Wilson....still looking for that 6 pounder!! Still learning how to fish exclusively for Smallmouth but I am learning more every time I go

My personal best 3-6 18 inches http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w438/tjc76/august%209%202012/009.jpg

The best looking http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w438/tjc76/001-1.jpg

One of the best tattooed smallies I've ever personally seen. A 4 pounder from Milford Lake Kansas.

Maybe not the greatest colored but how can you be mad at a smallmouth with a gut like this? 5 pounder from Melvern Lake Kansas.

No tattoos at all on this one but I loved the color of it, from Milford Lake Kansas.

SLO_ROLL et al, hope you don't mind me showin' off these two again from this season. The first weighed 5.8 lbs. and was caught the end of April. The second was 6.0 lbs. and a big surprise on my June 9th outing. Both came from Massachusetts waters.

The prettiest(tattooed) smallie I ahve ever caught....

Jeff

Man, everyone has some fine fish!

Jeff, the coloration on your fish is magical!
