    I caught a New Lake Record!!

    I went fishing up on Lake Burton today and I got the surprise of my life. I caught a Lake record bass. I was fishing a topwater plug around some rocks and this bass inhaled it. It started jumping and jumping some more trying to dislodge my plug. I finally get it to the boat and it's a Smallmouth bass; the first one I have ever caught. I took it up to the Lake Burton Hatchery and got the DNR to verify and weigh it. They said it was the first Smallmouth they had seen from Burton. They took pics and recorded the weight and measurement. They said it would be a new lake record. It weighed 2.74 lbs. After they verified it I released it back into the lake.

    Thanks guys, We don't have many Smallmouth in Georgia. The DNR couldn't believe I caught one out of Burton. I've caught lots of spots and largemouth, but I tell ya, I like those Smallmouth, they like to jump alot from what little experience I have with them. Hope to catch another one some day.

    Good job, smallmouth will make you soon forget about them ole green fish pretty quick. They are the greatest fish that swims in my humble opinion.

    Great fish, no argument there. I believe Lake Blue Ridge has a good population of smallies. I may have to plan a trip over there for a few days.
