Rodney Hurst's 22 1/4 8lb smallie. This is the biggest smallmouth I ever seen. Again, I'm just the humble lil photographer. 5" swimbait, mid morning. He's been trying for over a month to catch some big ladies. He got two 5's, a better 4, and a couple 2lbers before heading home.

Nice fish! Was that the call that you got while you were at the PWC area? Didn't recognize you there at first but good to see you again. Were you guys having a tournament?
That is an amazing fish. The markings are incredible. Congratulations

Wow those are two of the prettiest fish I have seen, congrats to the fisherman.

Thanks for posting up Tommy, that looks a lot bigger than the current record, sounds like Rodney had a great day. If you were the photographer does that mean you didn't do any fishing[
]?

I caught the fish using a GLoomis heavy action spinnerbait rod with 14lb Sugio and a Abu Garcia Revo STX reel [if anyone cares]. The bait is a handpoured Lake X swimbait that I call the Baby X. It is a knock off of an older swimbait, only better. I made a few modifications to the bait to suit my style of fishing. It isn't a magic mojo bullet, but it works.
As for the other nonsense, it is just that, nonsense. I say earn it on the water not on an internet chat board.
P.S. I didn't use a net.........

Despite all the bs, that is a nice fish. No, that's a damn nice fish. That's what it's all about, right there. Some people like to catch fish, some like to catch a certain species, others target the one in said picture. Good job, and yes I'm jealous. I'm not going point fingers at others and stir up the pot but I think I would have looked better holding that fish.[
