Small though, like 8-10 inches.
I've also caught a handful on JPP this year. I'd say for every 6 largemouth I catch, I get a smallie. Largest right at 18", one 16" and the rest 12-14". Crankbaits and zoom trick worms are what I got them on.

I am not huge on micro-fishing. Where i came from in Atlanta we caught Shoal Bass from 1 to 5 lbs in the creeks and rivers. i am definitely missing that, and i would rather catch a keeper smallie if at all.
I need to start fishing JPP i guess. Only fished it once and it was near the dam last saturday.
