Took my son on a mission to get him his first steelhead on the fly. We succeeded. He brought both of these fish to the bank. Awesome afternoon and the kid walked a couple miles and never complained.

We landed four and lost one at the net. What an awesome night, Zach was literally shaking when his first king came aboard. Finding those kings is a science and Andrew is a mad scientist! 26306475ed9a0af95326aec8743098ba.jpga138c4a1c0689d3c1245534689395af8.jpg07cd0a9ee66d04dcfcdfb789cdcfd167.jpgf8dfc1299038f19a30998abfb5aab15f.jpg

Agree. We wouldn't have left the harbor

We were greeted with solid 4's and a washing machine of water, while being hammered by 15+mph winds. Wet ride out !

Some def beautiful smallies for you this year.   I've caught a few, prob 10 -12 or less in my life, but a 5lb small mouth  bass isn't all that common in NY. Although a lot of people think it looks 5 lbs the scale is always (exception PA chart) the tell.  I can only think of two lakes I've ever got 5lb smallies out of.  One small amazing lake up in the Watertown area (which is in my avatar and also not a 5lber) and Delta lake. But nothing fights like a small mouth bass.

I got two weighed 6lbers in just a few minutes in Erie a long time ago. I put both in the freezer to get at least one mounted and those fish were in there for three house changes lol.
Never did get a mount

As many here know, I am not into scales.  My longest smallmouth was a 23 in about 20 years ago on lake Erie.  If I ever get one that size again I hope I would mount it.  I usually get one or two just over 20 inches each year but never keep them.

My father in law is still complaining about  my releasing a 22 incher up at his place a few Octobers ago.  He wants to decorate his Adirondack retirememt  home with mounts of local species.  I set him up with a buck in 2015, but I am still trying for the smallmouth, lake trout, and bear rug.

I hope to spend over a week up there this October so maybe I can work on those last 3.  I have yet to see a bear up there, my only laker (taken thru the ice), was too small to mount, and. no smallmouth over 20 inches for me up there since 2016.

Those two bass on a piece of driftwood would have awesome. But also expensive.  Two 6lbers is a career day. 

In the fall on Delta I've got some huge bass when they start drawing down the lake. And a lake in Jefferson co one year on a fishing trip me and Corey had a career day.  Multiple bass over 19" and some 21,22 inchers. There was one in the shallows I saw twice that I know was 7lbs. And could not get him to commit.

I never weigh fish, I use the chest girth method, my bass are routinely 5-7lbs. Haha sorry Wolc, I had to....

In all seriousness, we catch hundreds of Lake Ontario bass each spring at arguably the heaviest weights they will be (spring) and only a handful go over 5 lbs. LOTS of 4-4.5's. The scale doesn't lie.
