kind of doubt it was a smallmouth. People mix these fish up all the time, and some of the smaller largies (like the first year guys that are fattening up right now) can tend to look like smallies especially later in the evening. I grew up on that lake, and unless someone illegally stocked it THIS year with smallies, I doubt it.

10/29/2008 5:08:00 PMI had a guy show me his "smallmouth" and I had to tell him it was a yellow perch at this very lake. I have a degree in fisheries and know he was wrong. You may have caught a smallmouth, there are a lot of "midnight stockers" out there.

11/2/2008 3:20:00 AMwell if it wasn't a smallmouth, it was definately a baby largemout, which was why i was confused, it was 100% a bass, and definately no perch. So thanks for lettin me know there aren't smallmouth in there.
