My First Smallmouth - and others from the Wisconsin trip
Part 2 - Crab Lake - Weekend X Up North
A Crab Lake smallmouth that hit a tube - the first one I caught there.
We were just running the bank casting to the drop where the shelf off the bank
ran out and dropped off. There were often rocks along it. The flat
from the bank in lots of areas on this lake ran out 3 to 6 feet deep then
dropped to about 12 feet.

This nice Crab Lake smallmouth grabbed a 4 inch Dead Ringer on a drop shot
rig. I had cast this out and was dragging it behind the boat as we
went down the bank. Notice the nice house in the backgound - Fritz wants
to buy it!

This Crab Lake smallie ran out from under a log and hit a 4 inch worm on a
slider head. I saw it come out and hit in the clear water but did not
realize how big it was until it jumped! I hooked this bass just
after supper one night. Before we left to go eat, Fritz had broken off a nice
smallmouth. This one jumped and I told Fritz it was his bass. He did
not believe me until I showed him the hook still in its throat! It was
about 50 yards down the bank from were he lost it!

This smallmouth bass hit a 4 inch worm on a slider jig the last morning we
fished. It was the best one I caught that morning - about 16 inches
long. Notice the rainsuit. I wore it most days to keep the dew on
the boat off my pants and also to keep the wind out - it was cool every
morning!
