Default Re: The "Best of 2016" thread

My biggest fish aren't as big as the others in this thread, but what constitutes a 'trophy' is relative to what you normally catch.

Pic 1: I was fishing shallow for panfish on a cold spring afternoon when this twenty-two inch Hybrid Striped Bass decided to give my light panfish gear a workout. I popped the hook and released this brute. (That's mud on his side, not blood)

Pic 2: I caught this 19-inch Smallmouth Bass on a drizzly summer afternoon. If memory serves me correctly, this is my personal-best Smallmouth.
After a few quick pics, she was released back in the water as are ALL bass I catch to grow bigger, make lots of babies, and make other anglers happy.
