Featuring Catch and Release Fishing for Trophy Smallmouth Bass
Largemouths and Spots
In an effort to add some class to this page of trash fish, you'll notice that in some of the pictures there are smallmouths being held up with the largemouths and spots! :^)
Seriously, nobody complains when a 5 to 8 pound largemouth, or spot over 3 pounds decides to latch onto one of our baits, but you can tell in an instant that it's not a big smallmouth.
