dave524 Posted November 4, 2022 Report Posted November 4, 2022 Just saw this, never seen a ten before, guess it's a new Ontario Record if caught in Ontario waters, haven't found any more info on the tank 1
glen Posted November 4, 2022 Report Posted November 4, 2022 I know nothing. but look at the size of the mouth compared to his hand. 2
CrowMan Posted November 4, 2022 Report Posted November 4, 2022 My buddy and I got a few 5lb fish today...small inland lake. Hard to see how that one is twice the size...
OhioFisherman Posted November 7, 2022 Report Posted November 7, 2022 " The Ohio smallmouth record is held by Randy VanDam, who caught a 9.5-pounder out of Lake Erie in June of 1993. " LOL, after 30? years of eating gobies they are getting bigger? There may have been a chance for a 10 pound spotted bass if they had added them instead of Coho?
glen Posted November 7, 2022 Report Posted November 7, 2022 I guess when the weather is good for small mouth they grow bigger. Longer growing season. what a great fish. Maybe someone can beat it on simcoe.
CrowMan Posted November 7, 2022 Report Posted November 7, 2022 I'd put my money on eastern Lake O for the next record Smallmouth. Between the Gobies, Alewife and Gizzard Shad they just keep getting bigger every year. This spring, during the new C&R season, the number of big tanks we hooked was incredible.

You aren't even allowed to weigh the fish in your boat never mind get it certified. With the amount of 8's that people catch these days its no surprise someone finally hit a DD. Im fairly sure Nick Cousivs caught a 9+lber a couple of years back on Lake O, he simply has the go pro footage and released it in alignment with the regs.
