couple nice smallies too ! good going .... not sure why people don't keep small mouths i like em
When I was a kid everyone kept them. They only had to be 10 inches and the limit was 6. The smaller ones are extremely good eating. Now with all the bass fishing on tv and tournaments it's like a sin to keep them? On the other hand, it was extremely rare to catch a 3 lb smallmouth back then, nowadays people catch much larger ones regularly in Lake O and the St. Lawrence. Let's hope they don't start having perch tournaments on tv!
