What are these "smallies" you guys keep showing pictures of? Do I have to travel to a location where it snows to find one?

There the mean little brother of the LM bass. They don't get as big but fight twice as hard. I would rather catch a 6lb sm than an 8lb lm.
The farther north you go, the more you'll see them.

Taken early morning out of my boat.

Taken a different day but early and out of the boat

Later in the year later in the day same boat

Some of the species you may not like but takes one to have the other

This is a great one Mark. If you throw a lot of standing timber in this picture it would look just like Table Rock.

Yeh I was jost joking a little. But I have never seen one. Didn't have them where I lived in Alabama. I never fished while I was in Maine; and I dont think there's any in Jacksonville.

Haven't fished it yet though

Exactly what lash said.
Smallmouth are THE bass to catch, hands down. Nuthin beats watchin a smallmouth launch out of the water, doin everything in his power, to throw that hook,
They really are a class of their own. They're tough to catch tho. Much more wiley than a largemouth. There's a couple serious smallmouth lakes near me, but those smallies can be tough to fish

Damn. I used to have a couple pics I took on a fishing trip to Upper Herring lake. Apparently, those pics are gone.
What made those pics special, other than the scenery themselves, was the fact that I invited Zooker with me that morning. This was after Zooker had left us.

At that time, all I had was a lil boat. And by lil, I mean 4'X8" hard plastic shell with 2 seats lol.
The night before I went out, I asked Zooker to join me. Usually, I leave the front seat at home, but since I expected Zooker to show, i took both seats that morning.

On the way there, you go up the side of a big valley. I was almost at the top when I looked in the rear view mirror. I saw the most incredible, red sunrise that I've ever seen. There was a scenic turnout right near where I spotted this, so I pulled off and snapped a couple pics. It was so incredible, that every pic I took turned out like crap.
Then when I was on the water, I just happened to look up at one point. The sun shining through the clouds was probably the best I've ever seen. I knew for sure after those 2 things, that Zooker had decided to plant his big ol *** in my lil boat

What really made my mind for me was 2 things:
1- I caught ZERO fish that day. Not a single freakin one
2- Several times, I felt like a fly was buzzin my ear. Yet every time I tried to shoo it away, there was nothing there.
I know Zooker was thnere with me that day, and I wish I could reclaim those pics. Up until now, bama has been the only one on this board that I've shared this with.
I wish I would have posted those pics at the time. If so, you all could see them

That is an awesome story Mike. It sucks you lost the pictures but although I would like to see them, it's the story about them that matters the most and you were able to share that with us. Thanks dude.

Default Here's a few random ones...

I'd forgotten I had some pictures saved in my Photobucket account until last night.

Here's some from the first Bassfishin.com member event, on Guntersville.

Good morning....



....and good evening.



Lisa showing us all how it's done.



Member Bo Thomas (I miss that guy...) reaching for a 4-pounder.



Same fish.



Me with a (barely) keeper.



Man, what a motley crew that is...



I have more, but that's most of the "fishing" pics.
