Dinner at our house tonight
 

Baked beans....sauteed broccoli.....green beans and....fried smallmouth bass....YUM YUM!

Susi's favorite meal.

I never eat them over 8 lbs. The small ones are tastier.

I agree SAMBOLIE.This one barely tipped five lbs.

Smallies 5 pounds !!! <'TK><
 

I would do just about anything for my wife, but kill a smallmouth I would not! I thought we were friends Merv :D

Merv is only guilty of eating an already dead fish that someone gave him. Do you really think Merv could catch a small mouth?:D

DAMMIT SAMBOLIE!

Do you have to tell everything you THINK you know?

Nobody gave me nuthin!

I found it washed up on the shore where I parked the boat so's I could run, take a poop in the woods.

That smallie didn't smell too bad so I throwed it in the rod locker and brung it home.

Susi was tellin me what a great husband and fisherman I was so I didn't have the heart to tell her how I fount such a magnificent fish. She thinks I'm better than that Van Damn feller!

And Mikey we're still friends. Hey! It wuddn't like I ate a rockfish, ya know?

And you, being an up north fella, certainly know that them smallmouth basses ain't nothin but trash fish, good only for shore lunches and such. Catch ya a six incher, throw it on a big circle hook under a bobber and set back and wait for a big ole pike to come lookin for a snack. Catch ya one of them suckers and you got some good eatin there boy.

TK, I wuz wonderin about all them clicks, buzzes and whirs on my telephone last night.

I just figgered it was some FishinTN members tappin my phone, wantin ta learn my secrets for findin smallies floatin on the shore line. Notice how I didn't say WHERE I found it? I know how to KEEP A SECRET!
