My first Smallmouth Bass

[24on48hunting]

It was a good one!!
18.5" long, 13" girth. No official scales around to weigh it.
I caught it on topwater (Spro Top Dawg)@ the Au Sable River Foote Dam, near Oscoda MI.
It was a great fight in that river current!

Nice, I grew up catching smallmouth, that's a good sized fish!
Looks like a 3 1/2 to 4 pounder to me.

Hell yeah! Smallmouth are fun. I have a 6lb 7oz one on the wall that I caught as a kid at the Olentangy River in Ohio.

No doubt! I'm hooked on these Northern river fish!

That's a good sized Smally - congrats. Yep, of all the bass species I think pound for pound, the hardest fighting fish out of all of 'em. And yes, I think they outfight spots (pound for pound).
