I don't know exactly but based on everyone's input, and the input of Jon baroker from my local tackle shop, I'm calling her 5.5 pounds. Maybe im undershooting ...more but it's gorgeous either way!
You def under estimated that weight. I caught one just shy of 22" and fat but not as fat as yours and it weighed 5 lbs 9 oz...yours is 6 lbs easy I'm sure!
thanks rich, it was so heavy it got hard to hold it out quickly.
No problem Alvin, that's the fun of this site/app! Ito fun to see others and share knowledge.
Thanks Nik...I dont have any experience catching smallmouth...there are some on the Coosa and Tennessee Chain of rivers I'm around but haven't had the pleasure ...more of landing one yet...thanks again for aharing...its awesome to get a chance to exchange ideas from anglers all across the country...tight lines to you!
of course! I was using a 6 foot 10 inch MXF St Croix Legend Tournament Bass with a Pfleuger Patriarch 2500. the line was 15 pound power pro braid with a 7 ft,or ...more so, fluro leader. the bait was a 2.5 inch Cabin Creek tube in watermelon orange color.
Sad thing is I don't have an exact weight. I know it was 22.5 inches and FAT. Not to mention how wide it was... I'm just guessing the weight and probably ...more wrong.
