From the Gone Fishing archives: My smallest largemouth

While poking around the GF archives, I came across this: a shot of the smallest largemouth I ever caught.

Obviously, it is a proud moment. Yet my memory of the details is hazy. I'm pretty sure the leviathan was boated at Cass Lake, somewhere in the vicinity of Lodge Point, late in the summer. I remember that only because it is a little unusual to catch largemouth on Cass, especially if you're not fishing Allens Bay.

From the look of the tackle, I was probably fishing with fatheads, drifting for perch or walleye, when this scrappy character made his unexpected move.

He's got nice color and markings, don't you think?
