I was lucky enough to catch a big smallmouth bass on the Columbia River recently, the video has been edited and posted on the watermanatwork.com website. I caught this large bass off of Miller Island, a large river island near the mouth of the Deschutes River. It was extremely hot and the Columbia River was high and muddy, the fishing was not that great. I was ready to pack it in when I decided to paddle around Miller Island and give it shot. Glad I did, this is one of the largest smallmouth bass I’ve ever caught on the Columbia River.
