that's still an impressive smallie,,, not to shabby on the steelie either...
in michigan, I could catch a world record smallie that would be reconized by IFGA, but not reconized by the state of michigan... Reason is, Michigan dose not reconize all fish caught in its waters, it has to be caught in public waters to be reconized...
so any fish I catch on my lake wont qualify for state reconition because it dose not have public access..
my best smallie so far was a 20 incher, I had hold of a bigger one when I was wading in to the lake but lost it when it decided to jump over my head and slap me in the face along his way...[shocked] needless to say, I lost my concentration and the smallie, but I did get a close up veiw of it....[shocked][angelic]
