Sure would be nice if more sows would join in on the fun. These little males aren’t much bigger than a tiny little Zebco Cardinal 3. But, they sure feel big on on such a small reel 🐟

Mickey Mouse or Snoopy Zebco (I can’t remember which was mine and which was my brother’s) and a night crawler, more than 40 years ago…. Geez, I’m old 🤣

Wow!

This gorgeous Colorado River smallmouth bass is a new (Ladies) IGFA all-tackle world length record for the species!

The chunky smallmouth measured 53 centimeters (20 inches) on an official IGFA measuring device, which tied the fish for the length record with two other officially recognized smallies. Sarah Harris landed her big fish while night fishing on the Colorado River in Arizona. It slammed a topwater lure and was boated after a short fight. After snapping some photos, Harris released it safely.

Harris’s bass tied a smallmouth caught by William Brent Evans from Alabama’s Lake Guntersville in 2014 as well as one caught from Washington’s Osoyoos Lake by Shane Hoelzle in 2020.

The IGFA all-tackle world record smallmouth by weight is a long-standing 11-pound, 15-ounce mark that was set in 1955 by David Hayes at Dale Hollow Lake in Tennessee.

Hayes’s Dale Hollow fish is a record that might stand forever, but those length records can be beaten. While a 20-inch smallmouth is definitely a trophy fish, 20-plus inchers are caught pretty regularly. It’s a matter of time before someone with an official IGFA measuring device puts one in the boat.

🎣 NEWS: New Ohio State Record White Crappie
🐟 A 29-year Ohio state record for White Crappie has been exceeded, and as the racing world would say, it was won by just a nose. The new entry surpassed the existing record by 0.01 pound, weighed on an inspected and certified scale.

⚖️ The White Crappie, weighing 3.91 pounds, was caught by Teresa Croy of Ottawa, Ohio. Ms. Croy landed her catch November 2, 2024, from a pond at the Glandorf Rod and Gun Club in Putnam County. The fish measured 18.5 inches long was landed on 8-lb test monofilament line using a worm as bait.

🤩 Her catch replaces the previous state record White Crappie which was caught from a private pond near Zanesville by Kyle Rock of Zanesville on April 25, 1995, weighing 3.90 pounds and measuring 18.5 inches long. Ohio’s record fish are determined on the basis of weight only and are certified by the Outdoor Writers of Ohio State Record Fish Committee with assistance from fishery biologists from our agency.

There are much better options to stay warm. Probably ought to rethink that decision 🤣

About Me

In the fall of 2009, my horse threw me at a rodeo, broke my back in seven places (seven vertebrae, each in multiple places), damaged fourteen other spinal components, damaged my spinal chord, fractured my eye socket, caused a concussion, and dislocated my shoulder. I was told I had a 0% chance of ever walking on my own again. It was physically impossible, they said. Well, I proved them wrong.

As part of my healing process, my doctors have prescribed me what is now called “eco therapy”, which is basically spending as much time in the woods and on the water as I can. It doesn't matter if my body will only allow for 15 minutes in the outdoors, or longer, as long as I’m fishing, hunting, or walking around the woods aimlessly, it serves as a great from of physical therapy. There is currently no cure for my rare spinal chord injury/disease, (Post Traumatic Syringomyelia), but fishing and spending time in God’s great outdoors has really helped to maintain my strength, and has been great for my morale!

The “Jessie’s Journey: Hook, Line, and Sinker” page has been created so that I can share with you my fishing journeys and other outdoors excursions. I hope this page motivates you to get involved in the outdoors, and inspires you to push through whatever life throws your way, no matter how “impossible” it may seem at the time.
