8/3 smallies

A swell evening on the old river tonight. It seems the smallmouth were getting tired of all the high nasty water the past month too and are biting like it's october instead of summer time. Also had a dandy channel hammer the grub along with about a dozen smallies. The ticket tonight was a clear with gold metalflake grub fished in fast water.

The last photo is a decent fish not really photo worthy but a nice 16 inch plus fish. But look close see that big line on his side where a bug shovel tried to eat him. It would take a heck of a cat to eat a fish that size I'm thinking...
