Don, I was burned by Huskybass last year on the 5lb Smallie bet, and I hate to tell you but this year is your turn!! Luckily I only bet a lure. 5lb smallies are tough!!!! The best I could come up with last season was 4-6 if I remember correctly, and that was a big fish. A 5 SM is huge, a 7 LM is a true CT trophy and a fish to be proud of...good luck in your quest!!

Enjoy that new rod Huskybass!!
