Well, I'm sorry if there's already a goggleye group but here we go. I love to catch these buggers smallmouth fishing! Got some huge ones on an Illinois lake while trolling cranks and casting for smallies.

061114--10" rockie caught on a 3/4 oz rubber bass jig. Mean little sob's ... that's why I like to target them.

That's a mouthful for those guys

The best technique I have is basically fishing for smallmouth tube jigs and worms a 5" jack worm by case plastics is my favorite
