A handful of fish!

This was my personal best smallmouth weighing at 4.74 lbs, caught on the Tennessee river in Florence, AL. I was with my boyfriend, TJ Shands on vacation in September of 2022.

On a lazy summer afternoon in Madison Co., Connor ripped a lip, and out came this stud. But he put him back…saying, “I’ll catch him again.”

Elizabeth thinks she hooked this monster earlier in the month but it broke her line. After putting on stronger line and wearing her good luck shirt, here he is! 5 1/2 lbs!
