OMG! Smallie!!!!
Big Smallmouth Days
This past week was a dream for any smallmouth fanatic — we caught and filmed an epic run of trophy fish. Several smallies topped 6 lbs, and five fish we weighed all broke the 5 lb mark on a digital scale. Every bite was a reminder why chasing these giants is just plain electric.
It was a mixed-bait bonanza: jerkbaits, football jigs, crankbaits, and lipless cranks all drew heavy strikes. Still, the “sour grape rouge” and football head jigs were the clear standouts — nothing beats seeing a big smallie crush a classic bait.

One standout catch tipped the digital scale at 6.4 lbs — released like all the others, safe and sound. Credit to the Conservation Series nets, which made landing and handling these beasts easy without ever putting their health at risk.
The video below demonstrates key smallmouth tactics, including the use of deep-diving jerkbaits, which were successful during your trophy catch day. KVD’s Jerkbait System for Big Water Smallmouth Bass
