thats a nice fish i caught a really good one about that size at spot pond but that has the craziest markings i have ever seen then again i havent gotten many smallmouth
Nice Smallie, I agree on the great markings and coloration.
Wait a few more weeks and you will catch the biggest Smallies of your life.
Turn off the motor and paddle into the coves and along the islands.
You will find them....but make sure to release them asap......dont forget to take pictures for us.
