Excellent day on the river. Ended up with 8 in the boat and lost about the same. All but one were smallmouth mostly 2+lbs, the one in the picture was 3.5, what a fight! And the other pic was the 4.2lb largemouth that i stalked for hours and finally got him to bite on a green jig with a black powerbait worm with a green tail. Odd weekend though, most of the sm were caught with spinnerbait under shallow docks and the lm was in my favorite sm spot in the rocks, oh well I guess we don't always have them down to a science. Fished one slough that had reports of big pike but didn't see or hear of any this weekend.
