Here's a smallmouth I caught on Sept. 27th of this year from my pond. Sorry for the poor photo. It was caught on a 6 inch golden shiner under a bobber. It was a clean lip hook, but the fish was bleeding badly from the gill area. It left the water 3 times. It was a true thrill!
Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer.
