My first Smallmouth

[thmyorke1]

Headed to the raritan river after multiple skunks through winter. I was thinking that the trout would be around the falls but had no luck with lil crappie jigs, or maybe even herring n shad.

Switched to targeting smb and I upped the jig weight and put on half a green zoom lizard.

First one was the biggest fish ive landed. All caught within a short period of time, after that not a lot of action even with lure change.

These guys FIGHT. Reeling them in was half the fun.
