Used to catch several in the late 80s, early 90s, but rarely catch them any more. I can't remember the last time I caught a good one. There's just not that many in there now, compared to back then.

I remember fishing a big bass classic in ~'90, and out of the top 10 biggest fish brought to the scales most were smallmouth.

sounds like that was some good old days. back in those days and the 70's i'll all about deer hunting and rivers but now the boy gone of to school i'll hooked on boatfishing. and it's easy on the old legs too

fished a tournament last year during the fall and had 4 keeper smallmouth. only 1 was big enough to out weigh the largemouth we had. lets just say that was a good day
