MLF is Live on Smith Mountain

Wish they'd hold these HH events on true big Bass factories. Could be worse though, there's always the Elite Series or the Sabine

Smith mountain isn’t quite Florida or Texas, but there’s been three double digit fish weighed in this spring and multiple 30 pound bags to win, with a 37 pound bag weighed in February. And I can’t count the number of 7-8 pounders weighed over the past few months.

The main issue with heavy hitters on sml is the time of year. These fish are 2-3 weeks off the spawn. The big ones are there, trust me. Most of them are just spawned out and haven’t had enough time to recoup.

Had this tourney been in February or March it would prob take a 10 pounder to win big fish and huge bags to make the cut.

Your are spot on, Michael Neal still sticking em on a typical pre/post spawn blade bait right in the spawning pockets and areas. Never watched an event here, action is pretty good.

You've obviously never been to Smith Mountain Lake. Place is loaded with big fish. They had a crap ton of rain out there this week so probably making it fish real hard.

7” at my house. I hit a tree or log at 2:30 am today coming back from a club night derby. I was purposely going “slow” and was fortunate to have any visible damage. Tons of pleasure boat traffic this weekend and quite windy. I’m betting fishing improves beginning tomorrow.
