Guest MOfish447 Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 What’s the biggest smallmouth bass caught on the Finley? not asking for locations etc. I don’t need them. Just want to see if any trophy’s have been caught up there. I’ve caught in the 15-17 inch range, but have to look for photos. So it doesn’t count. Yet.
Flysmallie Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 If you need pics to prove to you that there are trophies in there then you haven't spent enough time there.
snagged in outlet 3 Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 17" river smallie in MO is a trophy to me.... tjm, Greasy B and fishinwrench 3

Guest MOfish447 Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 Then I guess I have spent enough time on the Finley 😎 Honestly, I just wanted to see some photos of smallmouth from my favorite stream. Seems that this forum is a little too sensitive for things like that. I hardly get any useful information from it. People are so worried that you want their “secret” spots to give any real fishing reports. The upper upper Finley is not a secret anymore guys

But some of us have seen places get overrun from posting too much info on here. There's a post on the Finley forum in July 2021 and it's had over 3300 views. Even if a very small percentage get the itch and go fish there that's a lot of folks... Especially if they catch and keep. Just sayin.

Especially if they catch and keep. Just sayin. I understand that & I have thought about it as well. Luckily, a lot of the Finley is hard to access unless you break the law or work very hard. Most people aren’t going to do that. Personally, I would have never seen the Finley like I have if it wasn’t for a close friend living on it and building friendships with a few old boys along the way who own land on it. It was a lot of work. Like I said, I was just trying to see some smallys on a cold rainy day. I have good intentions
