I may be the only one who has pics but let's just see if anyone else has any. I have seen pics of people's PB's but what about your PW's...here's some of mine from 2010...
This is my PW LMB 5-3/4" caught on a 3-1/2" white yozuri crankbait on the Farmington River
Here's my PW SMB 5" caught on a 3-1/2" silver bomber square-bill crankbait on the Farmington River.
My true PW was the 4" alewife minnow that I caught on the 3-1/2" white yozuri crankbait out of Keeney cove but unfortunately I never took a pic of it.
...so let's see what the rest of you can come up with  |

My PW is a 4in largemouth caught in the entrance to weathersfield cove. It hit a 1/4oz thomas bouyant spoon, the same one that got me the fish in my profile pic. That lure will catch anything.

steven1smith - You caught the fish in your avatar photo while trolling, right? How do you rig the spoon for trolling? Do you attach it directly to a swivel or to a leader attached to a swivel?

PECo,
I rig it with 10lb flouro tied directly to the snap swivel, and the snap swivel attached directly to the lure. And yes I did catch the fish in my profile pic while trolling. It was very interesting bringing in that fish on a med-light setup meant for panfish.

| 1.5in tubes. In the right scenarios ive caught 15lb limits on them, in the wrong spots/times of year you catch 5 fish for 15inches lol. |

| My personal worst smallies have all come from Rainbow/Farmington River and look just like dawg's. I've probably caught 10 that size. A couple came on a popper. For LMB, I caught a 3" LMB fly fishing at Spice Bush Swamp while teaching my kids to fish. Almost took it home and threw it in my fish tank. Caught about a 4-5" largie at Crystal lake on a drop shot. |

Damn y'all got some big personal worsts! I'm not proud. The first one I caught in a little pond on the side of the road in Canton. The next one is at Congamond. It's the first fish caught on my boat. Kira called it a swimbait 
Both fish hit lures almost as big as they were. Hopefully they're bigger now!

After that hour-long battle, I didn't have the strength left to get out my measuring tape. It was somewhere around 3" though.
