I live along the banks of the James River up here in VA. We put the boat in this morning and scouted upstream way farther than before. Got into good smallmouth waters and my long time friend landed a huge SM. It was a slab of a fish. Largest smallmouth I have ever seen. We didn't have scales but I handled the fish out the net. It had to go 4lb plus. He is going to send me a pic and I will post it when it arrives. Perfect day too. Mid 60's with overcast and a mild breeze.
