.in the box
all the accoutrements.
Can not wait to sail a spinnerbait out to a waiting Smallie on the big res.
No smallie around here. How do they fight compared to big mouth? We have a ton of Florida strain, in fact, our area holds many big mouth records.
Yes - I wanted to hear about your Largemouth Bass fishing since I know about the Florida Black Bass in SoCal - like 20+ lbers and all.
Smallmouth are, by most accounts, pound for pound the hardest fighting freshwater fish. Masters of aerobatic escape. I can't tell you how often I get a hard puller and then am amazed that it's a pounder or lb en a half. Often they are abundant in rocky steep sided deep reservoirs, and streams/rivers, rather than the muddy bottom, heavy vegetation and various cover waters where LBs thrive. Tactics can be quite different. The only wilder fighters, I am told, are Steelhead.
Where I am in the NE, my PB LM is 7' 11, SM - 4' 3
PS:
@Oerdin - what gear do you use fishin LB? Techniques etc.
