Smallmouth Magic | FIRST topwater of the spring

Get hyped for this smallmouth fishing blast - this was the FIRST topwater fishing of the year. And... they were hungry! I know it's currently winter... but soon it will be time to think about early spring fishing.
In respect of local anglers I do NOT name any river/stream that I fish. Please respect my "no-name" policy and do NOT post the names of any spots in the comments. Thank you for understanding!

They were some of the finest looking smallies I've ever seen. So colorful. Good job gentlemen. Memorable times with Dad.

Those were some awfully good looking smallies! Looks like an amazing time

[@HaightsWanderings]

@COYS_1882 Thank you. Yeah, the colors were really popping!

[@benjaminherrman]

Doesn’t get better than UP smallies!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@benjaminherrman It's possible that teaching middle schoolers is a better experience than UP smallies..... :P

[@coryhobbs717]

Great video!! Very good fishing action. What is the approximate date you filmed this. Just curious how early the top water smallies bite starts on a UP river.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@coryhobbs717 You know I am not sure - it might be early June or maybe Mayish...? I am not sure.
