Title: Another 2010 Giant Lake St Clair Smallie!
Post by: djkimmel on September 07, 2010, 08:28:03 PM
Got this picture recently from my friend Phil Conley. He was fishing the Mile Roads back in May of this year when he hooked into this trophy smallmouth bass of a lifetime - a BIG 7 and a half pound TOAD!!

I told Phil if I'd of caught a smallie that big, I'd be smiling. He said, "I am smiling!!" ;D

Those are some toads!  You should have just weighed that fish in a bag, then you'd be in the 7lb club.  Funny how so many of those practice weights drop off by 2.5lbs, too bad you can't weigh-in 5 bags with your limit.

I don't either and I'm not in the 7 pound club. My biggest is one over 6 1/2 from the fall 2005 trip to Mullett Lake. It should happen any day now... probably help if I get some patience. Don't have much patience... Like to fish fast when I can get away with it or convince myself I should be able to. Hate to drift and drag. Probably catch a few more big ones if I'd do that. Does anyone have a bell rig I can attach to my foot. I would need a loud one to wake me up when I get a bite while I'm drifting and dragging!!

My biggest on St. Clair was a 6-1 caught during that state championship years ago when I was the 'hero' on day one and the opposite on day 2... sigh...
