I recently gifted two smallmouth bass to the Ozark Cafe in Jasper, Arkansas for display purposes:
These two fish were caught in the early 1970’s, prior to the belief that “CATCH AND RELEASE” would help with the bass populations in our beautiful rivers. The bass on the left, weighed in at 4-12 and 21″; the bass on the right weighed in a at 4-14 and was 21″ also. Smallmouths this large are approximately 20 years old; maybe older when caught from headwaters streams.
Both were caught on crawdad colored flies of the time, much like a bead headed wooly-bugger.
PLEASE PRACTICE CATCH AND RELEASE.
Ten years after catching these fish, I was embarrassed that I kept them.

Hello I am so happy I found your webpage, I really found you by
error, while I was browsing on Google for something else, Regardless I am here now and would just like to say cheers for a marvelous post and a all round

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone
and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can
be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83
views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had
to share it with someone!
I think the admin of this web page is really working hard
for his site, as here every data is quality
based data.
I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to
come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
Fantastic work!
