    Default What's your biggest SM Yellowfish

    To get a relative idea of the BIG Smallmouths that are around - what is your personal best Smallmouth to date.

    Any fish weighed with an Xplorer net with integrated scale are automatically disqualified.

    Remember this is for smallmouth yellows using traditional flyfishing methods. No Pap Herman! and no Jiggs, Stones! And I will refrain from giving the size of the monster I caught on a Hornbill heart.

    The scale only went up to 4, but the consensus between Rory and myself was that it was over 5. What a day that was!

    I don't weigh my fish but I've caught a few that I'll guess were between 2-3kg and maybe 1 that may have been a little bigger than that.

    My biggest is 3.7 kg and I have caught a handful over 3 kg. Kudos to the guys who have caught the 5 kg plus fish. That is a big SM.

    The biggest fly caught SM I have come across was this 6 kg'er:



    And here's the same guy with a 5.5 kg:

    Odds are we caught the same fish.
