Default Incredible Bass Fishing Trip {PICS}

Just got back from my first annual (more to come) Small Mouth Bass Fishing trip. Spend 5 days in heaven catching the largest Smallies I have ever seen. Unbelievable the amount of fish, and the shear SIZE of these monsters.

I caught the largest Small Mouth of my life, and the largest one I have ever seen caught. Stats were 21.75" and 6.75 lbs. Caught overfifteen (15)bass this week over 18.5". Included just a few pictures of some 20+ inchers. What a week.

The setup.

Fishing Depth: 5-25 feet.
Tackle: Crawler Harness with Stinger, Cranks, Tubes.
Line: Berkley 4 lb. test.
Rod: Medium action Mitchell Pesca, Medium action Quantum Pro Qualifier.

Fished huge Smallies on beds or fished staging fish in deeper water.





5 - Gorgeous 20+, awesome fish.


4 - FIRST cast of the week. What a way to start, most agressive fish ever!


3 - 3rd largest fish of the trip. 20 and 7/8". Tube jigging.


2 - BIGGEST fish of the trip. 21.75" fish. 6.75 lbs. Absolutely massive Smallmouth bass. Crush a crawler rolling over its bed.


The empty bed of the fish caught above. This bed is over 6 foot in diameter. The wooden pole is a power line pole that you see pictured for reference. 17 foot of water.


1 - Second largest fish. 21" even. 6.125 lbs.and Gorgeous.

Thanks mbhutton. The lake has to remain unknown, it is quiet a hidden secret and frankly I would like to keep it that way. Not that I'm worried about you, but other onlookers of the site.

Great experiences, already looking forward to next year.

Nice fish man . I have always wanted to catch a smallie, but down here in the south there is not much lakes you can catch smallies in.
