Nice smallies. You keep posting fish like those and that tube company will be your sponsor! Honestly, what a tank. I love the sunset photos.

Nice bass! I was on the speed today and caught a few 1.5lb bass on a tube just like that with a flasher jig head. They are getting more and more aggressive cause the winter is a coming.

Tubes all day. Right now on Rice Lake, tubes have been helping me. This weather changed the way these fish are moving, PS that color(smoke) is amazing!

Nice Smally

Wow, thanks for sharing.

How was the fight on the fat one? Did it do its jumps?

fight was amazing and he took awhile to get in, he was really digging down and pulled a bit of drag (I don't like horsing a fish in). He did jump once or twice when I got him closer to the boat. He weighed in at just under 4lbs. And was obviously released.
Thanks for the comments guys!

Nice catch!!!! I thought that the x-rap wouldnt dive deep enough to attract smallmouth but i am obviously wrong, do you still remember how many feet of water you were fishing in? I tried my xraps on the smallmouth factory north of us a couple of weeks back but no luck

I was in about 20ft, but water was very clear so they could see it from far and were coming up to smash it. It also helps to keep your rod tip down to get that extra little bit of depth. It's what was working so I stuck with it!
