Little larger than 1 lbs- my second smallmouth. Released the fish right as Game Warden pulled up thinking maybe my license was expired, but took happy pic of them ...more pulling away - license was still good...still no pic of a smallmouth.

Little less than 1 lbs - my first smallmouth. Didn't get photo of the fish but did snap one of the kiddo that looks like he's using the force in the same ...more spot.
I have skunked out so many times this year it's not even funny...if I wasn't a noob I'd be embarrassed but it is hard to fish with 2 loud kiddos banging ...more LEGOS and stuff on the bottom of the boat. Anyway, I figured I'd post this fundraiser I am doing in case any folks out there have a heart for veterans or suicide prevention. I am running 100 miles in January to raise awareness and funds to help American veterans who are suffering from homelessness, substance abuse, depression, PTSD, etc., for the non-profit called Stop Soldier Suicide. If anyone is interested in donating through my (possibly heart-attack-inducing 100 mile run...seriously, what am I thinking?), you can check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/donate/303815341657470/303815351657469/. Oh, and if any of you serious fishermen are interested in helping out an American veteran WHILE fishing, there's actually charities where people just take a vet, senior, or folk with special needs, fishing---here's 10 of them: https://shopkarls.com/blog/fishing-veterans-day/. With God, all things are possible. God bless our veterans.
Right on the point at the edge of beautiful grasses. First catch on an ultralight spinning rod.
Nice healthy bass caught while feeding on a school of crappie.

First Non-Largemouth! What is it? White Perch? White Bass? Also the first catch on my Pflueger President (that only took 2 months π ) and umbrella rig. Although ...more I hooked one just before this and he bumped the boat and jumped off π£ I am better at losing fish than catching them ππ€¦βοΈ
There were so many large bass jumping around my boat I almost had a heart attack it was beating so painfully! Nabbed this one and then lost the next one right as ...more I got him next to the boat. God is good π£π£ββοΈ Had a lot of bites from smaller fish but the 360 Search Bait was too big for any of them. I am satisfied with at least one from this vacation. π
3 Days On The Kerr Reservoir (VA/NC border), also known as Buggs Island Lake. This is the view of the water behind Buggs Island Bait & Tackle, which also carries ...more hunting equipment. If you were out on the water, you could just pull your boat up to that dock and grab what you need π Let's see if we can catch some fish this week π£π£ββοΈ
