Boy guys I think by listoning to you chat that some of my smallmouth out of the river in enfield are alot smaller weight wise than I thought. Biggest I have caught is 21inches...the thing looked ancient! I thought it might be 6 plus #s...guess I may have been off alittle...oh well I still love to catch um even if they are only 1#ers don't here much chatter on here about northern Ct river ( Enfield area) . Its a very nice part of the river...red ledge/rock bottom and very fishable with or without boat. Kings Island on the west side you can wade across from one side to the other and if the fish are not biting you can explore the island and carve your initials in a tree God I love that river!!
