Really similar to carp and carp angling. I highly encourage you to fish for these if they are in your area (midwest/central/south USA with some around east coast). They likely get bigger than the commons there. Native species; can live to be over 100 years old and can weigh over 80 lbs. I’m fishing for them in TX. It’s been an absolute blast. Biggest is the first picture 26.75 lbs 34.5”.
I created reddit.com//r/SmallmouthBuffalo so we could talk about the fish there and share locations, tips, and photos. I encourage you to post and share there (cross post wasn’t working for some reason) Cheers!

I never landed one of those yet. They’re here in PA but considered endangered and I don’t really know what waters have them. You at Lake Austin by chance? Heard they’re in there and get rather large.
