    I was recently using one of the new Kinchou Minnows from Matzuo.  While I was targeting walleye this smallmouth happened to take the lure at Chatfield Reservoir in Littleton, Colorado.  This fish had a crawfish lodged in behind its gills and the only thing sticking out happened to be its claws.  The action of this lure + the color = the reason why I feel this fish
