The abundance of shad on the Gasconade last year helped fatten up the smallmouth like I've never seen before

Seth.......BINGO and I know where the next state record is swimming around and the best part is everyone I know sucks at fishing there but, it's there and it is gonna take a good fisherman to get it.

The Meramec had THE highest shad population in decades in my opinion and they went up stream further than they have in my memory. The closer you get to the Mississippi on the Meramec and the closer you get the Missouri river on the Gasconade the shad populations go up bigtime.

You would have to be a fool to not think Jeff's fish has the potential to be over 7.

I know someone who caught a 23 inch smallie similar to Jeffs in the last 2 weeks. It didn't weigh quite was his did but, could be a 7+ easy. Unfortunately my friend wants nothing to do with anyone knowing about the fish.
