Caught a beautiful smallie today on ray roberts she weighted 4.18 on my rapala hand held that has been fairly accurate for me in tournaments. Plus I caught it using one of my new crankbait patterns for the first time. Broke my old pb of 3.6 for a smallie. This one was a fun fight for sure and when I saw the cranbait barely in her mouth and I didn't have a net in the boat that was a scarey feeling trying to get her in.

Nice smallie!!

watch out for that version of the instrument panel, its not if they go out, its when. They have a replacement with rocker switches instead of push buttons.


Sweet boat.

Ditto. The panel will fail. Don't let it fail the morning of a tournament like it did with my boat. The rockers are what you need.

When I saw that pic that was the first thing I thought of also. Went through a few of those myself.

Nice smallie!!! I have the same panel on my boat. Previous owner carried a spare at all times. either upgrade to the rockers or get a spare to have on hand.

Cost me 800 to replace mine, I'm told that was a deal... 600 on parts from Skeeter and 200 to have installed..
Hopefully that's a long way down the road Brad... Nice boat for sure.

Congratulations for breaking your new ride in with a P. B. . The boat, the fish & the bait look great.

That's awesome, dude!! I caught my first keeper smallie at Table Rock last week...a little over 4. Those things are a handful, lots of fun.
