Nice fish and a AWESOME fight.  Also great job fighting the branches.  Super video. Side Note: If that Buff was 32" or over you can get a C&R record!  (If a Small Mouth)

Nice fish and fight. I am still laughing. I’m glad you didn’t lose it. That would have haunted you for awhile. Those smallmouth buffalo are really fun. Congratulations.

I would consider that fish a beast even on heavy tackle! To think you reeled in that on a 1/16 oz jig and 4 lb test is super impressive. I bet it was a crazy fight! I’ll HAVE to check out that video. Nice catch!
Give a man a fish he can eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and you can get rid of him for the entire weekend! ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/Nsr71J1/2022-01-24-15-00-52.jpg)
