    Last year I pulled a 6 pound and a 6lb 12 oz bass off of pool 7. This year in a tourny on pool 5a, I saw a guy bring in a 7.22 pound Largemouth. It was a pig.

    26″ inch smallie caught from shore at Shady Maple.. wing dam I think it is five years now. It hit a 1/4 jig and flourescent yellow fluttertail. I didn’t weigh it but since it was a female in May I would guess 7#+….. The dumbest part of it all was smallies were supposedly just coming back, and I had no idea it was any big deal. I measured it and released it and went on about my walleye casting , but I have never seen a smallie with anywhere near that girth, since.

    Man thats a hawg. Lawrence…can a boat be driven to that wingdam? Ive seen it recently while driving down hwy 35. I used to fish shady maple all the time as a kid but never noticed that dam until recently. Is it the one if front of the red barn? Ive heard its an old road bed. Sorry for getting off the subject.

    I see boats on it every once in a while. It is right in front of the small trees(willows??), and although I have never fished it from a boat, all my maps say it is easy to get, too. Last year I could wade out a ways with hipboots, but I catch mostly panfish, and some smaller eyes. I wish I could say I have ever backed it up, but low 20s(23″) on the river is the closest I have ever gotten. Lawrence

    WoW!!! That is indeed a trophy smallmouth and one RARE fish! I can’t help but think at 26″, female at spawn, if it might’ve weighed over 8lbs.? No way to know but that’s a BIG smallie! That’d be a great memory to have in “the bank”!

    HOLY [censored]!!! a 26inch smallie……that might have been close to the state record if it was a female along the spawn…..The state record is 9lbs 1 oz caught back in the 50’s..

    Well, my largest Smallmouth comes from pool 8 near goose island. I am not sure of the weight, as I was only 14 or 15 at the time and did not have a scale but I always carried a tape to measure the northern I alway use to catch. Well the smallie was 24 3/4″ long and I guessed it to be about 5-6 lbs. Biggest smallie for me. Largemouth, this fish came from Long Lake in Washburn county and was 7.26 lbs. I caught it on a Moss Boss in the cut between Long and Mud. Coincidentally that day I was fishing when they had a bass tourney on the lake and boy I wish I was in the tourny. My buddie and I had out limit and I believe each of our limits that day averaged 4 lbs per fish. Mike caught is biggest bass that day as well. Unfortunately I could not talk him into releasing that fish. It was somewhere in the 7-8 range as well, again on a plastic frog. If you ever are up on that lake take a look at the cut and the very end of mud lake. Some beautiful water. Heck the whole lake is great bass water not to mention the walleyes.

    Have a good one.

    Well, mine was a 8lb largemouth, but it was on a private pond my relatives have. They arent easy to catch though. I have been faithfully fishin it for 25 years and this is the first time I have went over 5lbs. If you think bass dont taste good, try some from a underground creek filled lake. No mud lines and better than walleye. MM MM MMM

    biggest Largemouth to date was 2 years ago was 10 # 2oz from CA Sac River Delta. Smallmouth was 20 inches but no weight from the St Croix. Have caught three MN Largemouth from 6 # 2 oz up to 6# 12oz in the last 6 years from three different lakes, all released except one MN bass. . Jack.

    25″ SM on a wingdam, midday, trolling for eyes…thought it was a LM when it came the first time right by the boat…had a huge mouth for a smallie. No one else in the boat, measured and released -> good feeling.
