Nice fish man seen them on BBC. I cant say wheather id trade the day i had out there yesterday or not. Those were a blast to catch Im sure. the 3 pounders were fighting like crazy. The 4s even better but 6s come on thats hookn the back of the boat im sure. Glad you got your biggest smallie ever its only gonna Get better here in the next couple of weeks.!!!!!!!!!!!!!Ill be there this weekend again!!-skeeterman-
I think I may have figured it out heres a few of mine from tuesday-skeeterman-
How the heck do I do that so mine dont look like bait!!!! haha There goes my 19lb down the toilet great fish man!!! that blows my mind those little buzzard must have looked at my tube 20 times!!!!!!!-skeeterman-
SON!!! That's the way to start off the season. Man! We are spoiled ;D
we got a few smaller ones dropshotting the nemesis gobys, they seem to work well. I think I will be making an order very soon.

A 5-10 and a 5-12...that's it?! ;) Awesome job...looks like L. Michigan is the place to be.
.....thats....AWESOME :o
TCook, when are we gonna meet in person? Maybe in your boat on Lake Michigan sometime very soon? I'm up for a road trip from G.R.!
fast track (Marc)
Catch a couple big fish... and suddenly... everyone wants to be your friend?!? ;D ;D
Cheetam, Ill tell you what they sure looked like 6 pound class smallies to me but thats what my xtools scale said so thats what they be I guess.
Marc, I would be up for an outing or two but my boat does not exist yet. I am still stuck as a nonboater and it sucks big time but thanks to buddies like 1Jav it makes being boatless not as bad.
And yes Lake Michigan is one of the places too be, its starting to be clear that us guys in southwest michigan do have an amazing smallmouth fishery that can be as productive as erie and st clair if you can find them.

Every year at this time I have to try and dispell the ever reoccuring myth of those steel mill smallies. :o
Even if there were giant bronzebacks in there I doubt you could get a bass boat through the concrete slabs anyway. ???
So one more time...they really aren't there boys, it's only another Indiana rumor. Go Redwings! ;D
Them are nice fish and Hunlee is impressed!!!!Hunlee think you are very proud and are standing very tall now!!!
hunlee
Yep, no smallmouth down here, you guys need to stay on the East side of things and find where the real smallmouth are and let us know so if we are ever able to leave our non-fish holding waters we can actually catch some instead of doctoring photos!! ;) ;)

Ha im assuming your just being sarcastic there canvsbk. If not oh well your missin out. Its not a rumor Lake Michigan Has SOME BIG SMALLMOUTH. Atleast weve had the bassmasters classic here. they blew it by not letting them go to Indiana waters. 25lbs Woo had was chump change, if your a real great lakes fisherman. One of my buddies and I have talked about this. Yeah theres pigs here right now where anyone with a brain can catch them but in the summer its a different deal. but theres tons of offshore structure that they'll group up on.-sooner or later it will get its props and i cant wait till we have some monster tourneyts here.-skeeterman-
Nice fish Tim!
