If you want to catch supersized smallmouth, you need to target them the right way

A lot of fishermen dream of boating a true 6-pound smallmouth bass. A lot of those same anglers never will. Not only is a 22-inch bronzeback a rare specimen, but they also aren’t prone to suicidal feeding binges where anyone can catch them.
To land a personal-best smallmouth, you either have to get lucky, or you must make it your mission. The latter is a better bet, and it starts with identifying the best water on which to begin your search.
