You never know when today is the day you catch a 21 inch Indiana Smallmouth Bass. I had fished for two days (Friday and Saturday) in Southern Indiana on a private lake and did not catch anything. When Sunday rolled around I was thinking maybe I ought to just sleep in today. Unfortunately, Captain Bradford McClatchie called a bit before sun up and said he had a good feeling about today.

We hammered smallmouth bass after smallmouth bass North of Noblesville on the White river.  This bruiser was 21" inches long and caught on a big white spinner bait slow rolling on top. It swirled the bait on top then dove down then came back up and jumped 5 feet out of the water. I nearly soiled myself.

We released about 20 or so smallmouth bass between the two of us.

Moral of the story: Get up and go fishing!
