thats a beautiful smallie buddy, nice job........my only question is where is the lighter and tape in the pic?!! LOL you'd be leading the smallie contest with that one possibly, the thing is fat as a football and makes it look shorter than it is, but its gotta be 20+ all day long........regardless congrats man

I was going to take a pic of it hanging from my scale and measurements but he was outta water for too long from my brother and dad taking a million pics lol. Still was released unharmed to fight another day It wasnt a digital scale but the needle was a tad below the 6lb mark and had to be at least 22". Took a 3" texas rigged senko lip hooked perfectly. Undisclosed location i'll leave it at that haha.

Yea man that fish is for sure 22+ All day , one of the biggest smb ive seen pictured on NJF! And good to hear you put the fish's health first vs an online fishing competition. Fish has to be 15 years old or older, gotta respect the old bruisers.
