Been fun reading the OGF forums lately...seems like everyone is posting pictures of personal bests this month. Nice work! I haven't been in town much to hound the LMR but I made it out last night with my friend for a late night kayak trip after dinner and caught a nice 18" smallmouth.
Water conditions were surprisingly clear after the morning scattered thunderstorms that rolled through the area. Overall, the water levels were still on the low side. I was pretty shocked at how much the river has changed in the last month from those nasty storms you guys had a few weeks ago. Certain riffles I'm used to fishing were completely restructured.
The smallmouth hit a 2 inch shad 1-3ft diving crankbait in gray/green. He was waiting at the tail end of the riffle and hit my lure as soon as it exited the fast moving water to the slower pool next to it. I got a good 5 jumps out of it before landing it. It didn't come close in size or strength to the monster 23+ incher I caught last month in the same area. Here's a photo of both smallies, a catfish, and my latest monster striper from the area from last week. I don't think I posted this one yet, but it was a beast. Thanks to both Nitsud and Fallen for helping me land these monsters. I've learned a lot from you guys.

wow. Sucks to be you huh?!!! well done. What were those gps coordinates again :d
(x,y,z removed) Those coordinates were supposed to be a gentlemen's club near the LMR that I drove by once. I removed them, didn't know they were right on some of you guy's favorite spots. Sorry
