Jon P Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Connected up with a buddy at a secret big smallmouth hole and threw swimbaits around for a few hours before it was too dark to fish safely. Got six smallmouth in total between the two of us, the largest being these cookie cutter 3.43 and 3.57. Previous PB was an unimpressive 2.4 so I guess I broke it twice! The pattern I figured out was to burn the Balam full tilt into a stump or log and then pause it until something tanked it. Ended up losing my Hiro (recovered) buddy’s Deps (recovered) and my Balam, which is waiting for me to drive up and swim for it. All in all a great night! Also ignore the “5 3.57” mark. Calibrated the scale with a five pound weight and it’s saved as a fish weight, no idea how to delete it.

Found a sunken boat dock with a huge female largemouth living on it. Definitely bigger than my 6.5. There’s also a lot of smallmouth in the same lake I was fishing that are over the 5 lb mark.
