Wow!!! That's amazing, man.I mainly catch them at my cottage . On a small lake . That would. Be a very good one there . On the St Lawrence where they gorge on invasive gobies . That 3.6 lbs is Average. PB is 6.4 . 20 lbs bag in a tournament be lucky to make the top 20 . Drop shot and rigs on the bottom and hang on they don’t want to come up . Or they rocket to the surface . And mess up the light tackle needed to get them . Brake your heart but a blast
A 3.6lb smallie in MD would be a rare monster. Our state record smallie is 8.2lb from a reservoir, in 1974.
Everything here is so over fished and constantly pressured, it's a real joy to hook anything that bites.
I usually get the creek smallies on crankbaits and jerkbaits.
