I truly think it was a state record at the time my wife caught it. It was 21 long is all we know. We released it right after taking the photo.
Here is a picture of the current SD state record Smallmouth, that was caught on a different lake about 3 weeks after my wifes catch.

At the time of my wifes catch, the record was 6lbs 2 oz..
I dont think the current record fish has anything on her fish we released.... but then again, talk like that is cheap, but I do know her fish is/was still swimming..

The pheasants and the walleyes were from the same day, about 40 miles apart...
The rest of the photos are from my digital album.
This smallmouth was caught from the same spot as my wifes, about an hour and a half later... It was actually 3/8" longer than my wifes fish, but wasnt nearly as girthy.
I'm so disappointed after reading in Dakota Country magazine this morning that the SDGFP Commission has rescinded the size restrictions on Lake Sharpe for the 2012 season..
Heres another photo of my wifes fish, just before releasing it..
too late, I am so there:thumbsup: Not really, I will be to SD for 1st time next October, got my ducks in a row $$$ so to speak! I wish I could add fishing but doubt that time will permit. Great pics Reddog!

No Smallies, just pheasants and eyes two weeks ago.
Heres the view from our patio
Another favorite:
I used to hunt these guys alot, but the mange and the coyotes have pretty much decimated the population. If there ever was an animal that got a bad rap, it was vulpes vuples.. I killed more than one man ever should, but they will always hold a soft spot in my heart. One of Gods greatest creatures..
I love the solitude of the state! Theres not many times you can have 90 miles of river all to your self, but it happens here alot..
The reason we're all here. Lets hope the strong pheasant hunting heritage continues in South Dakota for those that follow..

The sno hills pic seems to have been taken from the draw leading down to Snake Creek and the Platte Winner bridge?
