It’s been a tough year for smallmouth in terms of size and numbers, but I’m finding enough topwater action to keep me stoked. I’ll present a more detailed report on my summer adventures in the next few weeks, but for now this picture says it all. I’ve been getting a lot of action on Jack Gartside’s Gurgler and my Countermeasures bug.

So Steve,
Glad you liked the movie……remember when the Dallas bow broke water?
I put that bow on…….29 tons of GRP.
Actually I put the bow on her sistership that was the one actually used in the movie (although I put the bow on the Dallas too.)
Anyway doesn’t that remind you of a topwater take?
Best, Jake from Maine p.s.- Haven’t forgotten a mid-week trip when this virus is behind us.
It does indeed. Emerging from the depths with fury! My middle son thinks it’s really cool — “sick” was his word — that you helped build!
