Chu smallmouth is large in length but lack in weight. In the past, I know someone caught a 23 inch smallmouth was only 5.25LB. She was a skinny one. I have caught many many smalllouth there between 20-22 inch, they are very, very ,very hard to surpass the five pound mark. But, if you talk to anyone who fished there for sometime, they will tell you "ya, last year I caught a 5.5LB." Someone will tell few years ago they caught 6s. Come on...LOL. I am not saying they are all liars, but fishermen do exaggerate one degree or two. Look this smallie I caught today, she is very healthy and bulky looking. She is 20 inch long. She is the same length as the one I caught from Quabbin yesterday. Guess what, she is only little over 4 pound compare 5 pound from Quabbin in the same length. Almost one pound less on the same digital scale? Gee, don't get me wrong, I take a 4s any day. What's missing on the weight?
No, this year is no good. You should see my last year opening day at Chu. 5 smallie weight over 20 LB, two 21 inch, two 20 inch, one 18 inch, AND, 3 laker weight 11.5LB, the largest was 25 inch. I had double limit out.
What the hell man? That thing is huge. Maybe the quabbin smallie strained your scales battery LOL!!! All kidding aside, you are just killing it this Spring
ive been doing better this spring then i did last spring ive caught multiple fish over 5lbs
Dude，are you the person posted last week about 22LB bag at Webster lake? I seriously suggest you to take look Lake Webster tournament history data. 22LB bag on Webster Lake got be top 3 all time high. Do you know in MA what 22LB bag of bass look like? Usually, a kicker bass 6-7LB, second one 4-5LB, and three 3-4LB range. Based on the statement you made about 22LB bag (compared to the pictures you were showing), I doubt you have caught "MULTIPLE" 5s this year. Please check and verify your scale like I did.

Good observations on the Chu bass. I don't have an explanation. I fish the Merrimack a lot and river fish tend to be thinner and longer than lake fish. My biggest Chu bass usually come in summer and they get hunky then. Who knows? Maybe they have to travel a lot chasing food and thin out?
