25.25 x 17.5 Smallie in VA

[Charlie Church]

Anyone else see this absolute unit of a smallie from the weekend? 

Stats are below:

Guide: Blane Chocklett

Angler: Brian Strife

Length: 25.25

Girth: 17.5

I believe the length x girth calculation puts the fish over 9 pounds which would be state record had it been killed. Props to them for releasing it.

Holy frijoles. That’s a frickin’ monster. The Trow brothers are good dudes. Nice fly shop in Harrisonburg, too.

 

Outside the Upper Potomac smallie fishery – whose woes we’re all aware of – it seems like Shenandoah waters are doing pretty well this year. I’m going out on the ‘doah again in early October with Travis Edens. Pretty excited.

Charlie I saw one VERY similar with Ahab Outfitters, but it was kind of whitish.

Missy creek is a really nice shop and the guys I have met who worked there have been nice, but they can be a bit disingenuous with their reports.
