Been gone a while, not here long. Here's a fish.

@MethDozer not bad for sw Virginia. And a lazy fisherman

@Notanymore Do they run on the smaller ened there? When I was a kid it was all about the monster sizes of southern large mouths. What's crazy to me is that now that the smallies have taken a shine to eating the invasive gobies our St. Lawerence small mouths dwarf the Alabamba and Texas large mouths by a good margine. Shit is crazy because in my most active fishing days smallies always dwarfed large mouths but now the smallies dwarf even those monster largemouths of the south.

@MethDozer 5 or 6 pounds is usually a great catch here for largemouth, at least on public water. A couple hours south into north Carolina, and the size per fish increases greatly.
