The wife and I were with multi-species guide John Gaulke. Best guide I've ever hired, and we've been out with some really well known/famous guides. We were vertical jigging for lakers, 40' to 105' deep. The wife popped several smallies in the 40' to 48' depths. The lakers came from 70' or deeper, so any bites shallower were assumed to be smallies. You let the smallmouth decide how quickly it wants to surface and all is well. Our releases appeared to be just fine. John uses a flasher to stay on the baitfish. We only fished where we saw bait and could watch the strike on the flasher. We also landed some big rainbows. I hooked the biggest bronzeback ever seen by myself or the guide, 20' down over 105' of water. Kept it on for the first jump, but it pulled off on a power dive. That fish was one or two classes above that 22" fish. New york is an excellent smallmouth destination. The average NY smallie for us were larger than dale hollow TN smallies.

I meant to say, that's a huge fish for anywhere, actually, but especially for NY!

AWESOME - that's a huge fish for NY. I have fished Schroon lake for Smallies but caught nothing even close to this!
56' is DEEP - were they on a rockpile nailing baitfish? Any issues with the swim bladder bringing it up from so deep?
