Catch and release
Dad says go catch a fish for dinner, no bites. Immediately following dinner I catch 2 right off the campsite, not gonna complain.
Result of yum dinger experiment
Nice chunk that put up one heck of a fight, she’d easily go 2.5-3lbs.
Smally on ensign
On the way out I experimented with my yum dingers for a few casts
I believe these are the rice beds
We paddle through some lakes that were about 3-5ft deep and no sign of fish, wonder why...
Dad with a smallmouth
Being new to the area and smallmouth fishing, every smally was a trophy!

Canoeing on knife lake
Personal Favorite
I believe we had just gotten into knife lake when Dad saw this picture perfect opportunity, it was absolutely stunning. The water was about 1-2 for deep for about 50 yards, so I walked a bit out so Dad could get this pic.
Noah’s first smallmouth
I was in for a pleasant surprise when my bobber went down. This smallmouth would probably have gone 2.5-3lbs post spawn but due to a complete full and unrealistic looking belly she was definitely pushing 4lbs.
One of dads first smallmouth
Smallmouth tacos
I know a lot of people hate on those who kee a smallmouth, but they truly make for an amazing meal. Way better than lmb.
