    check out this smallmouth, I didn’t have a tape to measure the girth, but I’m pretty sure it had to be in excess of its length.

    I’ll bet it was anxiously awaiting to drop all those eggs! Boy……..by the look of her, the whole future of the fishery could be sustained by one fish!! Nice catch!!!

    no official weight, it wasn’t really all that big of a fish, just big around . It was probably a 17 1/2″ long and weighed a little under 4 lbs by my best guess.

    As far as the spawning goes I’d say the fish on this lake were at least a week off maybe a little more. Hard to picture it getting fatter yet if it continues to feed another week.

    I’ll bet that little pig was pushing five with that kind of a belly.
