What a hog!!!

Well here is a shot of my smallie I had today, what a treat and what a fight on the #7/8 rod. Second cast of the day on a clouser.

Fish was in the 20 inch range.

Nice fish, but man, that is one ugly trout. :stuck_out_tongue:

Well I was surprised by the end of the day. I acutally hooked into a 12-13 inch resident rainbow as well. I have never seen one before and man all I have to say is what a treat. I didn’t have my trout net to get a pic with him, because they are feister than hell and got off while trying to get him while he was splashing around by my leg.

20" smallmouth sounds like a great day to me! Very nice fish!

Did anyone say “EXCELLENT” yet? Well done.

A smallmouth on a flyrod is on my todo list. Just have to find a place I can get to where they live.

Congrats! I think that is a beautiful fish.

That’s a hog indeed! Nice one man!!!

Great fish. One of those is my goal.

Nice fish and cool pic.

That is one big smallmouth! Congratulations on a great catch!

Nice job landing that smallie, keep up the good work

Thanks for the compliments gentleman. I am heading back this weekend to try to get some more :slight_smile:

Careful! Catching smallmouth on the fly can become very addicting! Pound for pound one of the hardest fighting fish in fresh water! Nice job on a very nice bronzeback!

Great fish. My favorite fish on a flyrod…Smallies are what I fish for here in Ohio. 20" is considered a real prize around here… At least by my standards…ha! Nice Job.!
