Got out on Saturday on the Thames here in Ontario. I caught what I believe to be the largest smallie I have ever caught in the Thames. Approximatley 20-21 inches and maybe 4 lbs. Not bad for an area that averages 18 to 24 inches of water. We often have 50 plus fish days on the Thames. Haven't seen the the larger fish for a while here though. Not sure why. Hope to have a great early fall for smallies.
