This is a nice smallmouth in the 3lb range. I took the picture and then released it. I didn’t want to keep it out of the water any longer to put it on the scales. I have been cathing some nice smallmouth & spotted bass in deep water using jigs.
It’s funny, I used to only fish for largemouth bass but have found myself fishing mainly for the deep bite lately. All thru this fall season I haven’t yet run a buzzbait on the bank. Yeah, I’m hooked on these smallies.
Editor’s Note: Thanks for the report Darris. What a nice bass and beautiful spot on the lake. No wonder you are hooked on Lake Tenkiller and smallmouth fishing!
