Finally got back out to a great small stream full of Smallies.

This time I was packing the 7.5" Glass.

These Smallmouths were a scream on that full flex rod!

Bad photo, this is a stream no wider than 25-30 feet, shallow water and the fish are released quickly....they reside in plate sized pockets and simply smash the gurglers.



This one was 13-14" and exhibited the odd behavior of hugging my legs for a while after release...just kept coming back towards me and rubbing against my wading boots...like a dog would???
