Lucky little punk. We had some catfish rods out with whole bluegills. I ran off to use the facilities and when I got back he was holding that fish. Only the second smallmouth that I've seen in Texas and my 13yr old lands it. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-70421-427419-smallmouthgrapevine.jpg)

Gorgeous fish.
Used to whack them on the Devil's every summer when I was a kid. Lots of fight per lb and a ton of fun to catch.

Good work, young man! That's a beauty. I've caught 2 of them in Lake Travis, but they were much smaller than this one!

Did y’all keep it? Released. We were there to hold a spot on the shore for a buddy's wedding. Did some fishing to fill the time.

That's a solid 5 lb. smallmouth.
Be a long time before he catches another one like that in a Texas Lake.
Spartans ask not...how many, but where!

Outstanding! You might be able to go back to that same bank and catch it again.

AS many times as I have fished Grapevine, I had NO idea that smallies were there... Goes to show you how much I knew... Awesome job...
Time is not wasted if you spend it with the ones you love.

Lake record is 6.11, might have been interesting! A buddy at work wondered if it would have broken the youth record on Grapevine. I didn't even bring a stringer. We were fishing to pass the time more than anything.

Or next time know there are catch and release lake records by length too. A picture with a tape measure and let it go, then submit the picture with the application. Currently 22.50 inch for Smallmouth. Same as the weight record. The current record holdler must have had a scale and released it. The Catch and Release Flathead on there is mine BTW. I am surprised it is still standing after 15 years. https://tpwd.texas.gov/fishboat/fish/action/waterecords.php?WB_code=0320
