Super User fourbizz Posted October 31, 2007 Super User Posted October 31, 2007 I have been working for myself for the last few weeks, because work at my normal job is slow. Bid out a nice little deck for some people and will make a pretty good pile of cash off of it. My tournament partner is working with me. We drove the fifteen minutes to the gas station by the job and I thought out loud "I should be fishing". Well, as it turns out, I have little willpower, so we went back for the boat We got to the lake to find exactly what I was expecting, approaching storm, overcast and windy conditions ;D ;D ;D ;D. Perfect conditions for the big spotted bass in this lake. Threw one of the baits that I build for awhile with no love on top, so I picked up the 10" TT. On about the 3rd cast, I get freight trained. Slide her into the net and she is my new PB spot at 5lbs! Sweet! About 20 minutes later after 1 bite that I missed, my buddy and I cast as far as possible at about the same time. He gets a blowup and I see that it is a big fish, so I start burning my bait back, he dumped it cause he sucks so I slow back down, as soon as I slowed down, she whacked it near the surface. I thought she was bigger because she has a monster head for a spot, but she was real lean at 5lbs2ozs, so another new PB! I felt like Triton Mike out there catching big spots on the TT! Good times, specially on a day that I was supposed to be at work ;D Quote
Pigsticker Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Those are some Money spots way to hammer um Keep Slaying um ;D Quote
Super User 5bass Posted October 31, 2007 Super User Posted October 31, 2007 Nice lookin' spots you got there 4biz! Cali definitely has some purty fish.....congrats on the PB's! Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 From what I have noticed the only real difference between a largemouth and a spotted bass is the spotted bass have more distinct patterns on them. They are usually a much more attractive looking fish. That and the fact that they are usually smaller than largemouth. Are there any other ways you can tell a spot from a largie? Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted October 31, 2007 Super User Posted October 31, 2007 Those are probably some of the biggest spots I have ever seen. Beautiful colors on those fish. Good job man, and on a swimbait!! WOW!!! 8-) Quote
Guest avid Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Totally cool biz. You should let one of your shorter friends hold the bass though. I mean a 5lb spot is huge except next to you it looks like fry. ;D Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted October 31, 2007 Author Super User Posted October 31, 2007 I know Avid! Being a freak of nature makes for some lack luster fish pics sometimes, thats why I squat down alot, makes me more compact, LOL! I'll tell you guys, those big spots are some MEEEEEEEAN SOBs! They hit it like they want blood! This means I have broken my PB's for spots and smallmouth this year so hopefully in the next 2 months I can pull off the Trifecta Come on 15+!!!!!!!..............<------------------- wishful thinking Quote

Super User T-rig Posted October 31, 2007 Super User Posted October 31, 2007 A PB twice in a day, that's too cool! Congrats! 8-) Quote
Super User Matt Fly Posted October 31, 2007 Super User Posted October 31, 2007 From what I have noticed the only real difference between a largemouth and a spotted bass is the spotted bass have more distinct patterns on them. They are usually a much more attractive looking fish. That and the fact that they are usually smaller than largemouth. Are there any other ways you can tell a spot from a largie? Alot of spots have red eyes, spots above the lateral line and the biggest character difference is that when a LM's mouth is closed, the jaw extends past the eyes. When a spots mouth is closed, the jaw does not extend to the eyes or past. A spot in Texas averages about 1/3 the size of the LM, our record is 5.5lbs. Matt Great looking fish 4bz's. Some very colorfull fish with beautiful patterns. Quote
Supermat Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Nice friggin' fish bro. That kicks the **** out of my PB! The 10" TT is the 10" triple trout, seen in the first pic. Quote
