I went looking for Smallmouth at Lake Tapps yesterday cause it's close to my house. We found a few little fish and then this guy hit. We lost one a little bit bigger and another about 10 broke off on the hookset. This one was 22.2 lbs. on the digital and was 43 inches long.

Did you release that beast I'm sure you did. Nice catch!! Gonna get Craven fishin for those BASS one of these days? Would that tiger be considered incidental catch?

The Tiger was C&R and it was caught on purpose. Craven likes to cast for fish rather then sit on the hook so he might be interested in trying something different. I'll take anybody if they want to go. It's way better then mowing the lawn or honey-do's.

Wow he lost the only fish of the day in my driftboat on the Sol Duc some years ago. His hookset was suspect on the fish...not sure if he knew he had one on.

Bummer, you guys have long memories. That Sol Duc fish was my only chance on a pink worm fish.  Redemption is looking like it's out of reach.

Nice tiger Steve. Made a few trips to Newman and Hauser this year with hopes of an incidental tiger. One of these days I'll stick with it. Curlew is supposed to have a pretty good population as well, Silver too. What were you throwing? Lead leader?

12 lb. Ande
That's all I've ever used on them. Don't let them "eat" the bait. Don't do a Roland Martin hookset like my other buddy did. Don't tighten the drag like some guys do for Bass tournaments. That's why my 3rd. buddy lost his. This is where Steelhead/Salmon fishing gave me and advantage over them.

Any of those buddies the tool you brought to CQ last year? That guy knew it all! He was talking alot of shiat around the campfire about us steelheaders don't know how to cast or properly fight fish or catch them for that matter. Guy was talking so much crap to everyone I'm surprised he didn't get gang tackled.

Nope, that guy has not been in my boat since then. I don't deal well with that much alcohol. I'm also surprised cause he needed to be straightened out. You all showed great restraint.

Unless work decides to screw me, I should be fishing Tapps this weekend with a few buddies. One of my friends has an aunt and uncle that live somewhere on the lake and they are having a BBQ Saturday, so i was going to fish the morning and then drive over to their house (no idea where it is at this point) in the boat and attend the BBQ. I'll be in the Big Lebowski (my avatar), if anyone else happens to be out - holler at me!
