I caught this one while fly fishing for white bass this weekend. The one thing I've learned about catching smallmouth buffalo is it's sure a lot easier to land them when you actually hook them in the mouth, rather than when you snag one by the tail  I caught him in a small creek with lots of brush. He made about 3 runs, tried to get in the brush twice, went around in circles a couple times then finally tried to sit on the bottom. Not the biggest one I've ever landed on the fly rod but it was still an exhilarating fight!!! ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/01/full-89995-212541-nails_buffalo.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/01/full-89995-212542-nails_buffalo_length.jpg)
