Monster Smallmouth yesterday morning!!!!!

Joel,

That’s one sweet looking fish! Nothin’ like smallies on the flyrod. Good catch.

:smiley: Nice Fish :smiley:

And let me say …it’s so nice the rod isn’t between your teeth and is used beautifully to show the scale of the photo :smiley:

Joel,
That is one gorgeous smallie!
Two observations…I think I see a Fly Reel Dot, & what looks like a Sneaky Pete hanging from that smallie’s jaw?..Could be wrong…old eyes y’know!
Mike

what a beautiful fish with such vivid markings. I will bet you had a blast catching it. What fly?
Paul

this was caught on a murdich minnow…I guess it’s a pretty well known fly up in this area…

Ahhhh, smallies brings back remembrances of in my youth trips to Canada where I cast and caught hundreds of these bronze beauties. Very nice fish in anyones view and good picture. Thank for sharing.
HOBO

Nice fish, and I noticed that you’ve almost got your hat broken in. Very good photo, you should enlarge it and frame it with the fly.

:slight_smile:

:lol:

In a couple of years you can frame the hat too. It’s gettin’ close to an oil change!!
Ya know you’re only about 120 miles away, as the crow flies, but that big lake makes it an all day trip.
I wonder if you were using one of the furled leaders I sent??!!

beautiful fish and congrats - love those smallies

:shock: Wow, nice fish, I know that was fun on a fly…:slight_smile:

well done! you can put the rod in your teeth, says I.
Nice fish.

I don’t want teethmarks on this beautiful rod!!!
