<br /> Im sick to my stomach .... Lost the best smallie I have seen in a long time.. Was easily 5 lbs possibly better then 6 he was HUGE!!! Fished rip rap near the Dam on the Chick side since I didnt feel like getting my feet wet getting on the boat with the docks at riverpark underwater... From 6 to 830 caught 19 largemouth all on Firetiger Normans Deep Little N&#39;s in 12-18 ft of water.. Once it got dark i tied on a strike king rage craw watermelon and red color and caught a nice football smallie 2 lbs 6 oz.. Next cast he hit again 3 lb 2 oz smallie... About three casts later hooked the big boy he put on an aerial show and bulldogged under the boat and for a brief moment i went stupid.. already left the net in the truck i knew i had to lip him but for some stupid reason i tried to swing him over the boat and it just pulled the hook straight from his mouth...Cant even think why I tried that.. Probably would have been my personal best smallie... Caught 1 more small one then the lightning came in and I bailed... The nightime smallie bite was hot wish i could have stayed a lot longer Im sure i could have boated many more. With the full moon they were eating the plastic craw up.. <br /> Water temp was 68 water clairty was about 3 inches.. Best five fish would have went around 12-13 lbs.. no huge fish but a ton of quality fish..sorry but no smallie pics my camera on my phone has no flash cant get a picture after dark emoBang <br /> going to go back Friday night and fish most of the night to try and find the big guy again.. Was a great little trip tonight.. Good night for fishing and I didnt see one other boat all night <br /> <br /> http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq341....jpg<br /> http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq341....jpg<br /> <br /> Spotted largemouth http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq341...emouth.jpg
