Brought the 3wt with me this time on the theory that the best way to catch a larger fish is to have lighter tackle. Worked really well. This one took a few minutes to get in. SM are such fun!
My 3wt is quite a 'fast action' rod so I can bring in a 3# SM pretty quick. I haven't been catching anything like that this year at my 'go-to' spot on the Miss. I have another place which shall forever be kept secret that usually has some bruisers and I will use my 5/6 Switch rod when I go there.Bob not to be critical but you seem concerned about a released fishes health (wont lip hold a 22 in. bass). So why are fishing for smallmouth with a 3 weight
