It's been my experience in what I've learned about smallmouth, they are a "smart" fish.. Their methods of positioning for ambush is very unique. They seem to be methodical compared to the bulldog aggressive monster the HSB is. They show up and blast through schools in a fashion that obviously uses a lot of energy. Wiper don't seem to have a patternable strategy, they just seem to eat what and how they want.
And although most people with them in ponds will say they seemed to disappear, they WILL show up, and when they do nobody will be more surprised than your shorts..
They will leave an impression you won't forget.
