Monster 21″ Smallmouth Bass

Author:
This is my first trophy smallmouth bass from Moose Lake in Ely, Minnesota. The fish was released unharmed. Jon had a “big hit” as he was rolling the video cam towards the end of the clip. The line snapped… What was it??!!

yeah its aesome!
Nice! I haven’t caught a brookie yet. Only rainbows and browns. Trout are acrobatic when they’re hooked.
brookies killem. i was fishing in a rivah for smallies and hooked into a 14-15” native brookie!?
I agree! Mister Twister works just about everywhere I have fished.
nothing beats a mistertwister
We were using 5″ curly tail grubs. Pumpkin pepper was the color.
wat were u using?
Thanks! It was my biggest smallie and have yet to catch one bigger. My goals is 22 inches now.
nice fish!
my friend caught 22 inch 6_1/2 pound largemouth but your smally lookes more solid and heavier than his largemouth
i caught my biggest smallie in a small pond, with a thunderstorm approaching, i knew the fishing was going to increase, so i started burning a red/orange 1 oz. bill lewis rattle trap, w/ a 7:1:1Pfluger patriarch, funny thing is i live in illinois, the craws DONT turn red up north, they are green-brwn. in color, water color was slightly stained, but there was craws in the rocks i was burning the bait over, i guess he just wanted to see what this BIG red noisy thing was, crashing into the Riprap
That Smallmouth is a Monster!
Nice Catch!

rapala classic floating minnow

green pumpkin tube jig. Best smallie bait around.
Nice fish man!
Anything works, the fish are not selective at all.
i think the fish at the end are called “snaggs”, nice smallie though!!
Curly tail grub on a jighead. Hard to beat!
if anyone knows a good smallmouth lure please let me know
when you measure youre supposed to take the tape measure and lay it flat against the fish not across the body… measuring across the body adds about 1 to 2 inches in length it was probly 20 inches but … very nice man
the measuring tape was very loose when you measured that fish, which probably added 2 or 3 inches to the total length. you probably didn’t think anyone would notice, but a second look at the video will prove that i’m right. still, it’s a nice fish and bigger than any smallie i’ve ever caught. congrats.
a day before bass opener in mn, my cousin landed a 22″ smallie down in coon rapids dam x]
i landed some 17s, 19s in crd as well. but these fishes moved away from shore now, so sad =[
all i catch now is 7-10″ smallies. :’(
Thanks! It’s been almost two years since I caught and released that smallie. I haven’t caught a bass over 20 inches since. A 17-inch smallmouth you caught is a nice fish!
