Freaky! It bit good and fought hard, so must be able to survive. I always seem to catch this weird stuff! What the heck.

gotta love smallies

Made it out for our annual Summer Smallie trip. Another fun and great trip fished all day Saturday and all day Sunday. Numbers way up size was down a little for average but still managed 11 or 12 over 20″. A ton of fish in the 19 inch range was a blast and not too many people around which was nice. Had one spot we hit put 18 fish in the boat in 10 minutes it was insane. Couldn’t get the fish in the boat fast enough to get another cast in.Many triples caught this weekend, did get some go pro footage hope to have that soon.

Some 4th of July week pics. Got back home for the holiday. Man, was it good to get out of the Texas heat & get back into some Minnesota weather and fishing! Only was able to fish a total of about 6 hours, but we put around 100 bass in the boat. Average size was small with lots of 10-15" fish, but we still got a decent number of 18-20.5" fish. Fish were caught on a wacky senko in the pads early and moved to weed edges with Carolina creatures & senkos and sunfish-colored DT3s over suspended cabbage after the sun came up

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary with some Leech Lake bass this weekend.  All fish caught were very thick and over 15". First time trying to fish the rice... yielded only 1 fish. Had to go back to what I know to put fish in the boat.

Some from the last couple weeks. A Beaver dam bass that went 5-2lb from up at the cabin in the Akeley/Walker area. A 19in pale green water bass from last night around here.  Also a bonus 34-35in dirty water pike from Monday. My board quits at 31in! I forgot my dang scale up north, so can only measure them right now! da.

22 x 15 smallie.  Weighed 7.5 lbs on my digital scale that was later confirmed with an 8lb weight back on shore.  My bro said he hadn't seen me come that unglued on a fish in over 20 years! 

I weighed her, and then weighed her again.  My PB bass period.  I spent a few years (more than a few years ago) trying to break 7 pounds but never officially did.  I never thought I'd do it with a smallie.

BTW, this was Ely, not Mille Lacs.

[bassfshin24]

Wow. Congrats on a fish of a life time. Love those big brown beauties. 

[Juan Grande]

Wow, awesome and congrats!

[Wanderer]

Thanks guys!

I just have to ask, how many people on this forum have caught a 24 inch smallie?

I'm looking at the third smallie this summer reported to be 24 inches.

Phenomenal... 

The State record largie measured 23 inches.  Just sayin'.

I'm really wondering if the State record smallie might pop on Mille Lacs this weekend.

[ANYFISH2]

No 24" smallies for me!

When I worked at Voyageur North in Ely, I heard and seen pics of so called 24's never on a tape or board. I suppose possible though.

The biggest smallies I have actually measured are 23" 6lbs 12oz, 21.5" 6lbs 8oz, 21" 5lb 4oz.

I would have loved to have seen yours up close, awsome fish!

There are 6lb fish out your back door Wanderer! Hope you get many.
