TBT - old smallie pic
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.
