I agree, they beat largemouths hands down!!

Those are some real nice ones there, almost makes me want to drive up there myself! :way:

WOW... Very nice. Smallies are by far my favorite fish to get, man can they put up a fight.

Big and beautiful, very nicely done!! My biggest smallies are all muddy Mississippi River fish and pale in comparison to those nicely painted bronzies, very jealous!

I think Spirit is one of the best bronzeback waters in the Midwest and hardly anyone knows about it. Amazing fishery. One day I caught six over five pounds just fishing the docks between Red Nose and Stony.

I recognize the Templar boat ramp. Had a lot of tournaments there!

thats funny you say that because these were pale looking as well until they were in the livewell for an hour or so I wonder if the shallow water or light makes them blotch up like that anybody know

Well I won't be far from Spirit this summer, guess I'll have to test your hypothesis on my own!!
