Kansas is far from a destination for Smallmouths, but I did manage to bring a few to the boat this weekend. Went Friday afternoon to beat the Holiday crowd. I caught Smallmouths, Largemouths, Spotted, and White bass on the same presentations, and added a bonus of a couple of drag ripping wipers to the mix. Addictive to say the least, I couldn't stand it, so I went on Labor Day as well and suffered through the jetski's, tubers, and party pontoons just to feel those smallmouths tug......so hard...it was worth it.

Nothing big, except my smile.

Nice smallies!!  Got to love that fight they have in them.

Nice catch ;D

RP - Great KS Smallies!

Would you mind sharing what Lake those Smallies are from?  I've only been to Melvern to chase Smallies.  I'd like to get to Wilson or Milford some day....

Something magical about those things...

nice!!!

did you get the gallons of rain on your lake as well?

The Friday before Labor Day, it sprinkled some.  Water levels were at least 3' higher a week later when I went back the third time, so the rain must have come after Labor Day.
