This is a tale of two lakes. Intertwined lakes, in Barry County, Michigan. Where somehow the water has gone away. Upper and Lower Crooked Lakes, both near and dear to me, are suffering from the lowest water levels I've seen in the 35+ years I've been fishing them.

I would have to say I love the smallmouth. Large mouth are fun to catch but you can't beat a nice chunky smallie grabing hold and comming strait up.

By a VERY narrow margin, I would have to say largemouths...

Maybe we need an "I can't choose a favorite" button? I love them both. I like whichever one I'm catching the best while I'm catching it.

I'm sure some anglers can choose, but... I don't know if I can choose a definite favorite. I'd feel like I'm cheating on the other one ;D

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

I can't pick.  They're both wonderful.

So much water.  So many lures.  So little time.

I'll say largemouth because most of the lakes that I fish have a much better population of them.  If I lived near smallmouth water, I'd go with smallmouth.

definitely smallmouth throwing a topwater and having a 4lber come out of the water 4 feet after you set the hook.

Now that what im talking about . I mean don't get me wrong I love a good fight from a large head but a smallie just does so much more for me may it be 2 may  it be 5 I love the lil guys

Smallies. They fight harder. They fight longer. Thats what its about for me.

It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

fowlmouth

Largemouth!!! Don't get me wrong, I love the fight of a smallie, but that is their downfall for me. They make me nervous until they are boated, probably lose 3-4 times as many smallies as largemouth.

Small or large doesn't matter as long as I have a bass on and it is big.  My neighbor down the street says he always wants to catch numbers and he doesn't matter whether they are keepers or not.  I on the other hand would like to catch quality not quantity.  Quantity can be easy, however the challenge is catching quality.
