Sponge Bob gets a good one

I knew it was only a matter of time till I hooked into something big with that rod and landed it. No video, since I was in the float tube, but figured you guys would enjoy the picture. 6lb 2oz Smallmouth bass while live linning a yellow perch on a Cape Pond. For those who don't fresh water fish, a 6lb smallie is equivalent to a 40lb striper.

Fat.
Hardest fighting fish I ever caught.
I used to go to a place in ME where there was nothing but smallies & eels.
Used to catch 6-8 in. smallmouth on 4#trout gear.
Take drag & tailwalk & jump 3 feet out of the water.

I'm just trying to picture a grown man in a float tube with waders and all the gear using a Sponge Bob rod?
Nice catch.

That's AWESOME Roy
quite a challenge on that little stick of yours.
How is the reel holding up? have you had to clean or lube it yet?
You have THE touch

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Way cool, RoyL.

Smallmouth are awesome fighters - I accidently hook them down in reservior near my house and some are pretty decent sized. No where as FAT as that porker. Love how acrobatic the SMB are.

I would catch some in rivers while trout fishing and use to think I had gotten mother of all trout only to find out it was just a med sized SMB...... LOL.

I'm going to try using rod like that. My daughter has a Barbie rod and I have a Sandy (friend of Sponge Bob's) outfit as well.

Sweet! I have a Tweety Bird rig that I got for my daughter. Maybe I'll bring it out next time. Did I just say that?

that's awesome Roy, nice fish man! have you tried to catch stripers with it yet? If you landed a big striper on that thing I think it would have to be some kind of record....
