I should also say that we go to Canada, Lake of the Woods the 1st week of June so I am partial. I also have personally never boated any smallmouth over 5lbs,close and still working on that.

I say a thread a month or so about a tournament on Simcoe that had 5 smallmouth that weighed 29.9 and there were many many more that weighed over 5lbs and the largest was 7 3/4(if I remember). I did a little more checking and they had another tournament that was a 3-day individual tournament(pro-co angler format) and for 3 days(15 fish) it took 73-74lbs to win, which I think is pretty incredible. I have also read similar threads on Erie(but not quite as good).

I think as far as daily numbers of fish Canada/north are hard to beat.
