Show off your fish

Damn that's a pretty fish!

 

like I said, I buy one pack of the "new" color and what do they bite on? the one color I dont have a ton of...!!! Ive seen them either swim away from the normally good color or just turn their nose up at it like they are saying "nope not THAT color today, this minute" LOL

 

Haha! Fickle jerks.

 

My first 10 lb. bass!!! So blessed!

 

awesome! whats the state record there?

 

Thanks man! According to Google it’s 16.4lbs.

 

even at 10lbs thats double any largemouth Ive caught! Biggest one I caught was in MD at 22.5" long...didnt have a scale but estimated to be around 5 1/2 -6lbs. You can get a replica made at around $18 an inch...if you got some good pics

 

Yeah I got a bunch of good pics and measurements and plan on getting it mounted ASAP. Catches like that one are rare so I want to always remember that moment.

 

Fun day in the Great Smoky Mountains NP. Eight keeper size trout and a few throw backs. All were released back into stream. Plus a little guy that I'm not sure what he was....

 

By the way here are some better fish size pics.

 

Looks like the one is a creek chub of some sort.

 

Mother of God! Look at the mouth on that thing!

Congratulations! Awesome fish!

 

That's still a really good fish where I'm from.

I've caught fish that length and they have been up to 6.5#. Fat fall fish

 

One beautiful smallie!!!!!!!

 

We call the creek chubs "horny head" with all the bumps or "horns" on their head. If you don't mind, what creek were you fishing in the Smokies? Lots of good trout fishing there!

 

Thanks man! I literally was thinking “this cannot be real. It’s mouth was so huge when jumping trying to spit the hook. I was soaked in my kayak from him jumping and splashing. Lol! He was pulling me around like my kayak was a toy.

 

they are really hearty fish. Hope the release went well. The head on that fish is huge!

 

Nice. I fished the creek heading back to Abrams Falls down by Cades Cove.

Would have been a lot easier to fish with waders but they somehow didn't make it into the truck. Not a problem, I'll just order a pair on Amazon Prime with one day delivery.... 5 days later still no waders and UPS is holding package due to invalid delivery address....

 

I mainly fish the NC side. It's been years since I fished the Tenn. side. Cade's cove is a nice area!
