After a Friday kind of a work day,I took my son fishing(bank
fishing)on Lake Washington and caught and released 5 smallmouths; my son caught 2 small ones on a brown rooster tail spinner, I caught 2 on a texas rig floating worm and 1 on a homemade spinner #3 Pentac ding bat blades and
#3 body in polished brass(I wish they were still making those blades) but I Bought a few before Pentac went out of business, now mortac is the new co. now but they don't make the dingbat type of blades though. Only 2 of the smallmouth were between 2-3 lbs. but put a great fight- after I hooked the smallies I would trade poles with my son to fight the fish and he really loves playing a jumping and fighting smallmouth over 2 lbs.; he's addicted.
