If I get a limit early enough, I may want to fish for smallmouth. I've never caught one. The rules say that we must release any smallmouth we catch. I just want to catch one and take a pic real quick, then let it go. </TD></TR></TABLE>

Try some Gitzits (tubes) for the smallies! Jigs will also do it.

What do you mean smallmouth must be released? You can't take them to the weigh-in?

Remember that jerk bait I mentioned? Here are a few of the fish (LM and Kentuckies) from my last trip to Lake Ouachita this past March. You can see that lure in one of the pics. With the exception of one nice LM caught on a jig, all the rest of the fish I caught were caught on that Luckycraft:
