There are smallmouth in the lake but not as many as there are spots or largemouths. I caught a 6.9 smallmouth there 3 years ago during the winter, it came out of 28 feet of water. I have also netted a 10.4 largemouth a friend of mine caught during a tournament and also witnessed a 10.6 largemouth another fisherman caught a couple of months later. As far as the spot goes I have heard that there was a 6 pound spot caught but I haven't seen the pic's. My son did catch a 5.6 spot 2 years ago and I truely believe there are some in there over 6 pounds.
Lake ocoee/parksville isn't that big of a lake as you can drive from one end to the other in about 20 or 25 minutes, but it's really deep and gin clear so you have to use light line
