Big Smallmouth Weighed-In at Dow's Boat Rentals

It's definitely exceptional.

I was just thinking, earlier today before I read Laurie Murphy's report (below), that the biggest smallmouth I know of weighed-in at the shop was under five pounds. That certainly doesn't mean bigger haven't been caught. And regarding largemouths, the largest widely known to have been caught in Lake Hopatcong weighed about 8 3/4 pounds, but a 10-pounder was once found dead.



Not a lot going on here at the lake with the rainy weather we are having, but several nice fish have made their way to the scale. Jimmy Welsh landed 2 nice smallmouth, one weighing 3 lbs and the other weighing in at 4 lbs 7 oz. Richard Hilton, while casting rubber worms along the docks, had himself a Largemouth Bass weighing 5 lbs 10 oz, and a Channel Cat at 4 lbs 4 oz. Kirra Gilfilan also had a Channel Cat that weighed in at 6 lbs 8 oz. Tommy Togno, while fishing with his family on a rainy afternoon,  had a walleye that weighed in at  4 lbs 4 oz. Crappie and Hybrids are also still hitting, along with some pickerel. The Knee Deep Clubs next contest is for Catfish, to be held on August 11th & 12th, from 6 PM on Saturday until Noon on Sunday. Have a great week...
