Title: Scenes from Smallie Country June & July
Post by: TWiles on July 16, 2008, 07:47:55 PM

A few more scenes from floating with Racer X.

Spotted this guy "piggy-backing" a HUGE 35+ lb carp.  I thought he was a carp too, at first....About 5 feet from the boat in 1.5 feet of water---I splat the fly on his head, and he SLAMMED it!  Splashing water against the boat as he pulled the rod under the bow, I nearly had a heart attack.  Best take on a fly yet.

Wish more of these would hatch off---freakin' Huge!

Man, Travis you are killin me with all these nice smallie shots.

I almost took a job in Johnson City yesterday but my family would have never let us leave with my 7 month old.

Why! Why! I could have been having fun with the small jaws too.

Nice work

Travis

I think Racer took me to some of those places. ;) They look very familiar.
