cnr Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Whoa...hang on there eric1978. First you poach Joe's favorite stretch and then you wanna poach my fishing partner! He's mine and you can't have him!!!! Just kidding. Joe is a great guy and a tremendous Smallmouth fisherman, be prepared to be seriously outfished if you hang with him. His fishing style is straightforward and simple, but man can that guy put a hurt on the Smallies.

His fishing style is straightforward and simple, but man can that guy put a hurt on the Smallies. That's what I hear and I'm ready and willing to be outfished! Whenever I'm outfished I take solace in the fact that I'm learning something. Being around a better fisherman than you inevitably rubs off, whether you notice it or not. You pick up subtle tips and tricks without knowing it. I never learn anything from my regular fishing buddies. They stink! One of them spends more time picking up little creatures and inspecting them than he does fishing. He's a biologist. The other one gets hung up more than a 5 year old girl, and we spend half the day spooking the best holes recovering his lures. You guys can rest assured that I'm very gentle on rivers. You'll never know I was there and the fish stay where I found them.

eric1978 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Posted October 22, 2009 Forgot to mention that one of the smallies yesterday, about 13 or 14 inches or so, had what appeared to be a tiny turtle foot sticking out of his gullet. I was gonna take a pic of it but I was about to be swept into a logjam, so I let him go. Not sure if it would have been visible in the pic anyway. You guys ever seen that? I guess they eat turtles since they eat everything else, but I've never seen it before. Only saw 2 turtles on logs yesterday, so I guess he got one of the stragglers.
