I headed out today to try my luck on the Juniata River for some smallmouth bass. I wanted to explore a new section of the river and was uncertain about the depth and flow so I left my trusty river jon at home and did some wading. Three hours of fishing yielded some excellent action and a nice 18.5 inch smallmouth bass.
This is the second installment describing my quest to catch a smallmouth bass I have named “Clint”. To get up to speed read my first post about me vs. the smallmouth bass. This time the wily smallmouth actually received some help from an unlikely accomplice. Round two of my battle with Clint took an almost unbelievable turn.

There comes a time in every smallmouth bass fisherman’s life that he or she is haunted by a particular bass. For the past four weeks one such bass has eluded me. This smallmouth bass is no monster by any stretch of the imagination but I estimate it to be 17 plus. That being said it is a nice fish given the stream size and the fact that the hole it calls home is no more than 4 yards wide. Feel free to read on about my epic battle with the bass I have come to call “Clint”.
This is an excellent video that attempts to explore the reasons why we fish and those special places that we go back to time and time again to escape our busy lives and find solitude. The limestone stream in this video is absolutely picture perfect
I hit a nice little stretch of stream today in search of some hard fighting smallmouth bass. I was not disappointed. I landed over twenty bass in about two hours of fishing. Some were dinks but I caught a few nice fish as well. To read more just follow the link below.
