Very nice indeed for your son, and yes that is a typical Jordanelle smallmouth. Glad you guys had fun.
Re"Fished a dropshot for a while, and on the first cast in the water felt a nice bite. I wasn't quick enough setting the hook; and that was pretty much the story of the night."
Now, if you are going back, rig up your dropshot again, go to sportsmans and buy a pack of Yamamoto cut tail worms in watermelon green with gold flake, and fish the exact same area. Personal experience (this week) would indicate you should be able to catch a bunch of those bass that size plus a few perch.
