Other than doing homework on where the most titans are swimming around, a number of things can up the odds for bringing a trophy smallmouth to hand. And the same things that increase chances for catching trophies at Erie are in play on smaller waters. But on waters that rarely produce a 6, those 5- and even 4-pound bass are trophies nobody should sneer at. Certainly, those opportunities increase on waters like Erie, Green Bay, Lake Ontario, and the many lakes surrounding Grand Traverse Bay. Or maybe they simply live near-or often visit-waters most likely to give up a bass that size. Maybe they know something you and I don’t. Every once in a while, a lucky angler appears in the pages of the outdoor section or on the Internet holding an 8-pounder. But the 24-incher that automatically becomes the new goal eludes me. Four smallmouths fitting those dimensions found themselves in my boat over five decades of pursuit.
