[QUOTE="Bowhunter57, post: 679403, member: 24203"] [INDENT][COLOR=darkgreen]I was on Metzger Reservoir for about 2 hours before I caught the first fish and it was a channelcat that went 21". After I got him in and let him go, I thought I'd try the ultra-lite with a purple curly tailed jig. It was nearly sunset. About the 4th or 5th cast I caught a nice 15" saugeye...another catch and release. There were 5 or 6 more casts and something hammered the jig. I could tell it was a good fish and he wasn't coming in for a while. At one point it jumped, so I kept the rod tip down in hopes of landing this one. The drag was set lite with the 6 lb. test line and I had plenty of water to let him tire out. As I reached for the net, he made another run, so I took up the slack and quickly netted him into the kayak. This is my personal best, for a smallmouth. At 15 1/2", I've never caught one this size.
