TBT - old smallie pic

[buzzbaiter]

20" Delaware R smallmouth circa 1995(actaully 19.5"). I'm struck by how even back then I was concerned about the fish. I actually carried around Saran Wrap to put under the fish so as to not get sand or dirt on it. No joke and this picture is proof. I didn't - however - plan on the fish being bigger than the wrap. lol. Anyway this explains why I sometimes get a bit perturbed seeing fish covered in mud, sticks, leaves, dirt, sand, etc. Old but true saying: a fish is too precious to be caught only once.

MAN I LOVE SMALLIES, pound for pound the best freshwater NO.AM fighter.
Sweet fish, great catch!!!

Have yet to catch one this season but plan on working on that this Sunday when I take a friend's kids out for crappie & pan fish.

Check this double header my bro hooked up with from Clinton. He was just thrown in the towel after getting skunked all day. I told him to tie on that GOLD crack back RAP as we trolled in & BAM they crushed it....looked like a his & his dinner for two! He has been throwing a gold crack back since & killin' it!.

In my experience, Smallmouth Bass are the hardest fighting fish in freshwater - and they jump!

Some people think Hybrid Striped bass are the strongest fighters, but they really just fight similarly to a Smallmouth, and they rarely jump.

LANDLOCKs are pretty awesome aerial fighters as well but lack the brute strength, stamina & attitude of a smallie.
