I just recently starting following the artwork of Josh DeSmit and his recent smalljaw piece, dubbed "SMB", captures the brute fierceness of this species. I can't wait to tangle with some smallmouth bass soon.
Josh wrote... "SMB is a 30" x 40" mix of spray paint and acrylic on canvas. This piece was a kind of a study/final piece at the same. As an artist and fisherman I haven't given much time to smallmouth bass. As a Midwesterner it seems a little foolish that I have not. I caught a large smallie while late summer trouting last year and I got a little more curious. The fish was strong and had a lot of beauty in its own bassy way.
I recently showed at the Great Waters Fly Fishing Expo here in Minnesota and everyone wanted to talk smallmouth. After talking with enthusiastic guides and fisher folk I had the need to explore this fish a bit more."
Josh provided this image of the "SMB" artwork with enough resolution that it can be used as your desktop image if you'd like.
