24" smallie from Mille Lacs

[fishfearme]

I caught this 24" #6-13 smallie from Mille Lacs in sept. Came on a 4" green pumpkin YUM crawbug / 1/8oz tubehead jig in 6' of water.

Nice fish! Were you fishing from your boat or standing on shore when you got it?

[Stratosman]

I have been chasing that one on Mille Lac for a couple years now. Nice fish. I does look like from shore as you can see trees I believe in the reflection and a boat trailer in another. We want to know "excactly" where you caught it... Get a replica or a mount of that sow?

Sweet fish! Man, those ML smallies are sure dark!

[Bushwacker]

Excellent catch. I had always fished for walleyes on Mille Lacs until one day we were blown off our spots so we tried close to shore in 8ft or so. We hooked onto a couple 20" and it didn't take long to be a smally fan! I can only dream of what fighting a 24" was like.

Replica? How did it taste?

Great Catch!

It was caught from my duck boat, about 200 yards from shore on a rock pile. A neighbor took the pic. It was released to catch this spring when its pushing 9 pounds. Then I'll wack her. I had a similar fish on, pre-spawn a couple of years ago, it made this fish look small. On the third jump she threw the jig about 15 feet from the boat. One of these years i'll get that elusive 9 pound smallie.

Very nice fish indeed. But it only weighed 6lb-13 oz? I'd have guessed a little more. Maybe you'd better have that scale checked.
