Found smallmouths in numbers with ned rigs along rocky shores, but found size with topwater on schooling fish. Caught about 30 fish in 4 hours, biggest being 18 inches on a spook, but average size was around 12-14 inches.

This was the BASS state tournament on pools four and five. Day one and day two we had a big school of largemouth on a sand drop with hard bottom and weeds, which was very successful both days and then had one wing down that was producing better than average smallmouth. Ended the tourney in 10th and had 28 for two days.
