Ha ha, yeah...nothing like a 70 lb stingray taking off.
Deer creek, yes it had its glory years for SMB too, just like jordy - used to pull SMB up to and around 20"..for a little while. But hell, that was 15 yrs ago now. They're probly their own worst enemy, and yes, the nice DC perch are gone now as well. In my experience all over the west, smallmouth tend to stunt - probly whats really needed are some smallmouth predators in these lakes and liberal limits to thin the herd.
