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.

    Rock bass are in full spawning mode here in mid michigan. While retrieving a snagged lure I noticed a female surrounded by two smaller males I swear would have gone 16". Going back for her later this weekend.
