What kind of odds do you think Vegas would give for a fisherman who held the Idaho record smallmouth breaking his own record? That seems a real longshot to me. Here is a photo of our new state record:
The fisherman is Dan Steigers and he had held the previous record with an 8 pound 5 oz. fish. This fish weighed 9 pounds 11.52 oz. It was caught in Dworshak Reservoir a week ago Saturday. There are lots of small kokanee salmon in the reservoir and there have been quite a few large smallmouth caught the past year or two. Dworshak Reservoir is over 50 miles long with some very deep water.
The fish was caught on a plastic Sweet Beaver, but they did not say what type of reel he was using. I don't think that there are any like that one residing in the Snake River near here.
