Speaking of monster smallmouths: Jay Berenzweig's toad
Jay Berenzweig of Blacksburg said he and a buddy have been doing well on smallmouths in the lower New River the past couple of weeks. They've boated good numbers of fish in the 15- to 19-inch range.
This one is quite a bit bigger.
Berenzweig said the fish taped out at 22.5 inches. He didn't weigh it before the release because his scale is broken. He said he estimated the fish's weight at 6 to 7 pounds, and he added that he has no regrets about releasing the beautiful bass, which hit a Rapala minnow.
What a monster!! Very jealous! So impressed that you released this fish. Its really cool that you did.
