Nope.not grounded, just gonna let all of ya'll get in your shots. Keith i am sorry these knuckleheads have done this to your wonderful thread. BUT..............they gonna get it, just wait. Ol mb is gonna be wishing he had that basscat rig afore too long. And ron is gonna be totting his son around and wishing he could catch em like adam. And mallen...............well ol mallen is gonna have another blizzard blow through and not be able to fish till next fall, and only fer 2 days. They have a "season" to fish in.
Now back to the point of this thread, keith...you keep on catching them smallies pal. Go for the biggun and enter the contest for biggest smallie, you are on the right track to win it man.

Man....I love just looking at fish like that. So beautiful! Very healthy looking, and obviously quite oblivious to the "fact" he's not supposed to be swimming there!

One other thing...any lake in northern Indiana with any serious feeder creeks is going to have some Smallmouth in it, I would think. They are native there, and maybe that's why they get overlooked by the DNR and others. Small population, rarely caught, pay no mind. But I bet ol' Kiethdog won't be ignoring them ever again. He'll be hoping each and every nibble from now on is a hungry Smallie.

That would explain where he came from if there was a feeder creak, but this lake has no inflowing water. But yeah, I'm gonna be looking for more smallies from here on out! Time to get the tubes rigged up.
