Smallies attack a bait each and every time. They are tough and my favorite freshwater fish to catch. I don't east much freshwater fish, aside from trout and walleye. I was coerced into bringing a 6- pound smallie back to a lodge we were staying at in Lake George. I figured with that pristine water I'd give it a try.

The chef cooked it up and it was horrible. Mushy and gross.

As for my dilemma, Steve did manage to do a lot better than I. The big difference is - I didn't have to row 🙂 - Steve never lets me row anyhow.

Got out with my son up in Connecticut this morning ..... light rain and we were the only boat on the reservoir. My best Smallie was 2 lbs. They are mean !
It was great fishing again on the boat we built together 18 yrs ago !

Very true. I'm a lucky man. It was a little too calm for me to puke. But it kinda looks like it ??
