Personal Best Smallmouth Bass
« on: August 15, 2010, 06:56:05 PM »
Tell us about your personal best Smallmouth Bass.
How big was it, where did you catch it and what did you catch it on?
Feel free to share a picture with us to.  :)


My personal best smallmouth came out of the Delaware River couple years ago while fishing with Modzilla.
Was 21.5 inches long and weighed little more than 4 pounds.
Caught it on a Case Jacks Worm rigged on a lead jig head.

My largest was 21.5" also, caught in 1985 on a CP Swing while fishing around the boat docks at Lake Wallenpaupack. I was on my Honeymoon, staying at White Beauty View Resort. I don't have a picture of it, but I have caught many over the years that came real close.

My best was a 22" 5lb 2oz caught on the Susquehanna River on a Alluring Baits 3" Trick Stick. Used my 6 1/2ft light custom rod I made.

Wow, that is one PIG Smallie, LD !!! And to have caught it on your own light custom rod must have been a real thrill. That one's gonna be hard to beat, but fun trying.

Matt, very impressive Smallie you have there also. 21.5's are really hard to come by.

Let's see some more guys... Fall is here !!!!
