My best SM this season.
 

With rain tomorrow,we got out for a few hours this afternoon. Water temp was 43 to 44 degrees, I was jigging a blade vertically, though I was snagged but with pressure it was coming up slowly. I then saw a big smallie roll and splash on the surface. I guess it didn't like the looks of the net, sounded a few times and eventually splashed it way into the net. It was a heavy fish that was 20" long with a comparable girth. The picture doesn't do justice because by trying to keep the fish straight I wound up pulling the tail towards me trying to control it's bending. For picture reference, I'm 6'5".

Good chit brother!! That's a fatty bruiser right there! I notice with the colder temps the bass always seem to do that rigor mortis thing with their tails. Love it when you realize it's a fish and not a snag, gets pretty exciting! Great catch!!!
