Nice fish, GCF!!! Nothing like a smallie on ultralight tackle, huh! When I was at MTSU (a hundred years ago), I used to skip afternoon classes :D and wade in the Stones River. I had a fly rod rigged for bluegill (4lb test, and a fine wire cricket hook). Hung a smallmouth once, not as big as yours, probably a little shy of 2 lbs. That was the most fun I have ever had landing a single fish!!!
