Although not smallies, and out of season to boot. With the new Kawartha winter panfish season, we have caught a surprising number of good sized largies the last couple years.
Best one had to be over 5lbs caught by my buddy on Buckhorn (sorry for the OOS pic), he's almost 300lbs, so the fish looks a bit smaller:
We certainly have never been targetting them, but they don't seem to be shy of a panfish bait.
