Members Willow Leaf Posted February 16, 2012 Members Posted February 16, 2012 My wife caught her biggest fish at Stockton in the fall. It was a 15" Smallmouth. I sure got a kick out of watching her catch it. The fish slammed a small spinnerbait she was using. Darn near tore the rod out of her hands. She kept trying to hand me her fishing rod and I just started laughing. I said, "You caught it, you reel it in"! Every time she would try to hand me her pole, the Smallmouth would make a run and I just laughed harder. She finally got it in. It was a real bronze beauty. We released the fish to fight again and we all had a great day.
zarraspook Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 Willow Leaf, I'm not sure who said this but, "Smallmouth wake up mad and get meaner as the day goes on"....... The first few smallmouth that I caught , It felt as if they were hitting my lure with a baseball bat;.. Definitely got my attention !!!!!!

fishbait3 Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I fished with a guy that would only use bubblegum pink worms and he by far outfished me on smallies

straw hat Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I fished with a guy that would only use bubblegum pink worms and he by far outfished me on smallies My absolute favorite smallmouth bait from June to September was a natural colored Creme worm. Love those things!!
fishbait3 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 i wanna say late summer, but over all this guy used pink worms 90% of the time and out fished me everytime. i have never seen so many packs of pink worms unless i was at the store lol!!!
zarraspook Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 Fishbait3, Thanks...... "Look up OPTIMIST in the dictionary - there is a picture of a fishing boat being launched"
