18.5" caught and released fishing panfish on a 2" white Berkley power tube and a 1/16 oz jighead.

My fiance Nikki and Barry "Woody" Woods with two beauty Rainy Lake smallies.

[Corey Bechtold]

The REAL catch is Nikki! Congratulations Matt! Best of luck to you both. When is the big day?

Mille lacs smallies, only one of many that day, what a beautiful day, man I already miss smallie fishing!

My son(Brandon) and his 21 inch smallie from the Mississippi this summer while we were prefishing a tournament. It was C/R'd, but never showed up for our tourney bag.

[LaVoi]

That is an awesome picture! Surprised that brute didn't pull your son in!

[Mark Christianson]

Me too.

My buddy and I were sifting through a tackle box looking for something because I had just broken my line, and needed to get back in the water. All of a sudden Brandon is back there grunting and I look up and see him fighting a fish.

We thought that was pretty cool, and then it surfaced.

Lets just say things got a little crazy in the boat for a couple minutes until it was boated.

Way too fun.

[Royce Aardahl]

blb you gotta try smally surfing!! it's a blast!!

[Matt Breuer]

Corey, thanks! The "big day" is in August. Good to meet up with you at the show, how are things?

Big, that's a monster! I bet your boy was ear to ear grins for a week!

Good Fishin,

Matt Johnson

[Seabass77]

Thanks Matt.

Now thats a beauty my personal best is also 21.5 inches but I am willing to say your fish outweighed mine!

[LEECH21]

Wow 21.5 inches is a great smallmouth! My personal best smallie is 20.5"

[Matt Johnson]

Here's a brute I caught up on Chequamegon Bay earlier this week...

Good Fishin,

Matt Johnson

[Jim Hudson]

Nice fish Matt... Always nice when you can tangle with a big smallie through the ice... When were you over this way fishing the bay?

[BigDaddy]

I put this on the main thread but I'll put it here too. I'm pretty excited about this girl 20.5" and thick!

[Farley]

[Matt Johnson]

Here's Farley's smallie...

Good Fishin,

Matt Johnson

[Farley]

Thanks Matt! Caught that in my buddies fish house on Cokato Lake. Sat in his house for about 20 minutes listening to him complain about no fish biting and how slow it was before I noticed the bobber down. First smallie through the ice, ever, for me.

[Hemlock]

Nothing big, just testing how to post pics for the first time. LOW Ontario smallie.

[Hemlock]

What's the best/easiest way to get my link to show as a picture rather than a clickable link?

[Farley]

You need to put at the begining and end of the file name.

So yours would look like:

"img]http://img24.exs.cx/img24/7342/dscn04127lx.th.jpg[/img"

just replace the quotation marks at the begining and the end with a [ and a ].

it's http language for "Begin image here" ().

[Hemlock]

Darn computer talk....lets see.

[Hemlock]

Thanks Farley. Good instructions. I think it makes the fish look bigger too! I'll work on cropping/downsizing images from now on. That's worse than looking in the mirror, looking at that picture of me.
