Nice fish. Is that a Smallmouth?

I'd say the first one is, but I'm not sure what the 2nd one is

Here are some pics from my outing last weekend:

Eastern brookies....yum!

I'd say the second is a carp.

I wish I could say I caught the smallmouth on a tube , in the riffles but i tried that and no takers. Caught the fish with a Carolina rig , gob of worm and a Speedo bead.

Second fish , Im not sure. Some sort of Sucker, Carp, or perhaps a Buffalo.


edited, Second fish is a Smallmouth Buffalo.

One of my favorite's for river smallies is using light spinning gear and nightcrawlers. Just a hook and maybe a small split shot if needed, I cast out above areas I want the bait to drift into and maintain just enough tension to keep in contact with the bait. Sometimes I get a surprise with a channel cat, a drum, or a small gar, but most times, if there's smallies in there, they will nail it quickly.

Good luck with your illness. I hope you have a speedy recovery. :thumbup:
