Fished the Wisconsin River (@bassinboy01 think you can add it?), and pulled out an awesome 5 pound Smallie! It's ridiculous how hard these fish fight. If it was in Texas, I would've thought it to be around 7 or 8 pounds judging by the fight. It was sitting in about 6FOW right off a large boulder under a dam. With access to the current, these fish can make some serious runs, so be prepared.

I caught it on a drop-shotted 4.5" finesse worm on 6# fluorocarbon spooled on a Pflueger Patriarch 9535 mounted on a Dobyns Champion 702SF.

      @ATLBassin don't wait them out. Smallies are so aggressive that of they're there, they'll feed instantly. Try drop-shots, shaky-heads, tubes, flick-shakes, ...more and anything else on a spinning rod.

      @Peytond52 if you check the description, you'll see that it came on a 4.5" finesse worm I make. I had it rigged on a drop-shot with 6# fluorocarbon and ...more a Dobyns Champion 702S.

      @jstruve agreed. They're incredible sport fish. @bassinboy01 thanks! @wyldechyle77 they really are amazing fish. The "tick-tick" hit is really uncharacteristic ...more of them considering their raw power.

      Nice job! Smallmouth bass are pound for pound the hardest fighting fish in freshwater. MUCH more of a battle than a largemouth, I've even had some fight harder ...more than Northern Pike

      Not sure why the Wisconsin River wasn't showing up for ya. We've had it in the system for a while. I changed the blert though.

      @CalvinFease they fight hard at 1 lb I love catching smallies more then almost any fish based on that alone! Nice work and nice fish! Caught a 3 lb one while back ...more thought I had hooked a Muskie.
