Monster 21" Smallmouth Bass

This is my first trophy smallmouth bass from Moose Lake in Ely, Minnesota. The fish was released unharmed. Jon had a "big hit" as he was rolling the video cam towards the end of the clip. The line snapped... What was it??!!

@biggfishh58 Thanks!

I was just thinking about how all the smallmouths I catch are 16-19 inches, but I just can't break the 20 inch mark

[namtkd1]

@Foxbrosracing33 Don't feel bad. I have only caught two smallmouth over 20 inches. Most of the ones I caught were 18 inches or less.

@namtkd1 i just broke the 20 inch mark, 22 inch Smallie, 6 pounds...

@Foxbrosracing33 Great Job! That's a big smallmouth! I have yet to break the 21-inch mark...

its 21 inches not pounds, dont you see the little quotation marks next 2 it that means inches not pounds pounds is lbs

[MrFishindude]

@Spring2784 i dident eat it it swalloed the hook so i used the dead fish as bait but im with u i wouldent ever kill a game fish

[Spring2784]

@FueledByTyeler You can kill a smallie if you fight them too long. Chill out

[Spring2784]

Lol I do that from shore nice one though prob 4 lbs you gotta learn CPR my friend I got a 21" 5-4 last weekend shaped like a friggin football

[jameshdfliSBDHVbshdv]

i caught a 18 in at 6 lb his stomach was huge when i cut him up the dull knife bearly tuched him and he just opened his skin was so tight on himself



[FueledByTyeler]

i caught a 21" smallmouth just shy of 6 lbs on my ultralight (thats all i fish with) and it took close to 10 minutes to get him in,

if anyone cares about the secret to catching enormous bass on little rods and reels, you have to use lures designed for big fish scaled down. little skirted spinners, small versions of your favorite big bass crankbaits, and what i caught my biggest smallie on, scaled back topwater lures.
