Watch this 6.52 lb smallmouth bass get landed from hookset to release on the St. Lawrence River. This bruiser anchored the 27.76 lb bag.
This was the big one. A true smallmouth tank weighing in at 6.52 lbs caught on the St. Lawrence River. We’ve got the full sequence on camera — from the first crank to the rod bend, hookset, fight, and clean release. No music, no hype — just heavyweights. This fish was part of an epic day that produced a 27.76 lb bag, and it still stood out as the bruiser of the bunch.
