Recently moved to an area of the country that has world class Smallmouth fishing. I grew up fishing for Largemouth but I've never fished for Smallmouth. I'm curious... are there more Largemouth fisherman in here or more Smallmouth? Those that have fished for both, if you could only fish for one or the other, which would you pick?

Smallies are more fun to catch and look cooler to me but I usually catch them in open water. Throwing at laydowns along the bank for largemouth is also fun but if I had a choice, it would be for smallies.
I'm more of a spotted bass guy. Lots of bang for your buck with them fun fishing if smallies aren't a reasonable option.

Treat others like you want to be treated when on the water EVEN WHEN IN A TOURNAMENT! No fish is worth having a confrontation because you cut someone off or came in on top of someone.

I've made the transition to full time smallmouth after relocating as well. Couple times a year I have to get my largie fix, but I always end up back on the brown guys.
Largemouth
Largemouth. The other one not so much.
I love smallies but want to catch them like I do largies.
It's pretty close to 50/50 in Maine but LM are gaining all the time. SM are more fun to catch even though they avg smaller weights

I'm lucky, I don't have to choose. Where I fish most of the time, I can motor a hundred yards to go from smallmouth to largemouth.
I would fish for smallies all day if I could but like to cast at structure and other largie stuff too much.
Interesting...didn't realize that there were Largemouth in Canada.Originally Posted by Real L

I've heard that pound for pound you can't beat the fight of a smallie. Can't wait to catch one.
Smallmouth and it's not even close.
I don't know about that (white perch, landlocked salmon, and even pumpkinseeds are strong contenders) but after a few 3# river smallies your arms will be just about wore out

Smallies for me.
