Forgot to post the other PB I landed in November, but went back to the same lake and busted my PB smallie again but the smallest of margins, lol. Went up to my favorite lake in Vermont the Sunday after Thanksgiving for a solo trip, and FINALLY broke my PB smallmouth with a 5.04 lber on my first fish of the day. That video is already up on the channel if anyone wants to watch that one.

Went back out two more times after that, first of those two trips we busted a 24+ lb bag for our best 5 smallmouth, and my buddy landed two at 5.20 lbs and 5.26 lbs. Second of those trips we didn't do quite as well but still managed a 20+ lb bag for our best 5.

Had one last opportunity to hit the lake mid December, so made another solo trip and grinded out a slooow day, but it was worth it. Landed my latest PB smallie at 5.06 lbs. Weighed it several times and the scale hit the same weight every single time, was hoping for a little bit more out of her, hahaha.

Hope you enjoy this one!
