Al Agnew Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Yeah, I fish so much alone that it's difficult to get those kinds of photos, but I agree that they are a lot more interesting than my standard fish on the paddle pics. I might try to figure out some way of getting better photos without keeping the fish out of water for very long. Beautiful scenery as always on the Buffalo, and very nice fish!
exiledguide Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Hey I love everyone's fish porn photos but I really like the ones that tell the story, so keep those fish on a paddle pics a coming............please.
Guest Brian B. Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Mitch, Wasn't that a 21" Smallie that the Guru released when I met you two on the river that day -great, googlie- mooglie- OMG!
TroutRinger Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 I didn't have a tape measure at the time, but my personal best was caught in the first whole below Allie Springs on the Jack's Fork about 4 years ago. It covered the entire paddle blade and then some. Had to be close to 20". I've caught and measured several 17-18 inchers before and since then but none have been in the same class as that fish.

Geoff Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 This is, probably the 3rd smallie i've ever caught on a fly rod...and was the second fish of the day. This is my current personal best, not bad from waist deep water "When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all."
Guest Brian B. Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 The funny thing with smallmouth, I mean, yes- to some extent, size matters, but- "I just caught a smallmouth!!", you know, the last few posts- right on! Right there with you, no- it never gets old.

Al Agnew Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Yeah, they're just so much fun to catch, live in such nice places, and are absolutely beautiful fish. I suppose I've caught somewhere between 20,000 and 40,000 of them in my lifetime, and the next 10 incher I catch will still make me grin.
