LittleRedFisherman Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 From the looks of it, ole Crowbar knows where the big ones are around Hardy! Like to know what the one on the left measured. There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
Mitch f Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Nice fish but it doesn't look like old crowbar released them. "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
LittleRedFisherman Posted April 5, 2013 Author Posted April 5, 2013 Yeah, looks like your right about that Mitch. He lives on the banks of the Southfork, family has a farm there, figure that where he caught them. There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
ollie Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 beautiful fish both of them, but a shame he didn't release them or I am guessing he didn't.

Al Agnew Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I know somebody will chime in and say it's legal for him to keep them and so on, but I sure wish everybody would realize the value of such fish in the stream instead of in the skillet. It ain't like there's a million of them that size out there in the South Fork.
Greasy B Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 How many seasons did it take for that fish to grow to that size? 10-12 years? Five minute in oil, ten minutes on a plate then gone. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974
Members creekin bassnerd Posted April 5, 2013 Members Posted April 5, 2013 This guy has been keeping big stream smallies for years, he's not the only one with this self imposed "god" given right to kill whatever they please whenever they feel like it. Its a tradition for poor locals to feast on the easy to target stream smallies, but dung man, get some food stamps, go to wal mart, load up on cheap groceries, kill the dung out of some deer, go trout fishing, trade one of your many guns or children for a pig that you can fatten up and eat in the winter. Hell eat the river otters this redneck and others in the area are trying to eradicate. There are a lot of ways to find some calories, but I suppose one of the easiest is to keep big beautiful stream smallmouth and turn em into turds and have a feeling of pride that this world and everything in it was put here for you. http://www.womenanglers.us/wanda_filming.html
Mitch f Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Could be wrong but this has live bait written all over it! Hope Paul Dallas doesn't find out about this or there will be hell to pay "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
Smalliebigs Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Crowbar looks like a true Razorback hawg.......looser was fishing with bait and the only legend that dude is in his mind. I must admit I agree with Mitch after clicking on the link on the story about Crowbar and the rode hard and put away wet gal, I was thinking this has Paul Dallas written all over it. Crowbar looks like he may have a few chromosomal disorders, so I don't blame him too much.....I just feel bad for the fisherman down there that cherish nice smallies........I guess Arkansas has no season on Smallmouth???
ollie Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Well, there was a link at the bottom of the article if you want to email Wanda and let her know how you feel.
