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.

Thank you Barry! I'm so glad my equipment and my palomar knot didn't fail and especially that the buff didn't find a snag

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!
