Ok I'm officially offended..

[Triton_Mike]

and It takes a BOMB to offend me.  But we got a Smallmouth forum and no SPOTTED BASS FORUM??????  What in hades is wrong with that picture LOL.  You can't have one without the other it's just plain wrong in so many ways .  

Can we vote??  Thumb rassle?  hand game (rock, paper, scissors??)  Gene and Kent you guys live in Spot Country say something to the fearless leader .  

[Gatorbassman]

We've talked about it but there just isn't enough activity pertaining to the Spotted Bass to even fill one page of a forum.

[Muddy]

I feel your pain, we don't have a dink board either ;D

[Gatorbassman]

Now a dink forum we could pull off.

We can call it Burley's Place.

[FD.]

I feel your pain, we don't have a dink board either ;D

Yes we do.  It is called "Northeast Bass Fishing." ;D

'Cause spots suck! ;D

[roadwarrior]

In this part of the country, Kentucky Bass are trash fish. We catch

a lot, but I don't know a single person that actually fishes for them.

I release them, but I am not opposed to killing every single one.

When my partner and I have "meat hunters" aboard., we keep all

legal bass.

[fourbizz]

I dont mean this sarcastically at all, but spots are delicious. I hate cleaning fish but every once in awhile I'll kill some 2 lbers for the table.Over populated in our lakes anyway.

[Triton_Mike]

'Cause spots suck! ;D

sniff sniff .  You have to admit they aren't as lazy as them couch tater fish you catch and lord knows they give up too easily too  

[fourbizz]

by not lazy you mean small, athletic, and stupid right? ;D

Its not laziness, its efficiency, lol.

I'm starting to like spots actually. They are downright mean.

[clipper]

My lake has very few largemouth and I would rather fish for spots than catfish, bream, or crappie.  A 12" spot can be a lot of fun on 4lb line and a light tackle rig and they are more aggressive and easier to catch in cold weather than largemouth.  So, I am thankful to have Kentucky Spotted Bass to catch.    

By the way, that is a 4 lb 7 oz largemouth in my avatar that came from Marben Farms PFA on 4 lb line, so I will fish for largemouth if offered the opportunity.  

Triton Mike is a first class bass guide, and if you want to have a fun day and catch a lot of fish, book a trip with him this spring on Allatoona.

Now Kent,  I know for a fact Whitten fishes for them when he goes to Bay Springs.  I know this cause he's asking me how to catch them LOL.

Now a dink forum we could pull off.

We can call it Burley's Place.

Dinks and spots belong on the same board anyway they are both the same size. Just call it the spot/dink board.  ;D

I will admit to fishing for spots sometimes but thats just because GA is about to break the WR for spotted bass and I wouldn't mind having a WR. A 10 pound spot is the only one worth catching.

If Georgia broke the record, California would have it back in a year. I would put money on it.

I think you will get over it.

Yup. And it's true too! That's OK. I'm even happy with chubs and a hand-line. You know, it even seems that BassMaster mag is embarrassed about the north. They only recognize bass over 10lbs. Maybe a new mag should be developed, DinkMaster.

Hey, while we're at it, how about a redeye, Coosa, or Guadalupe board???

Oops!  

If Whitten is targeting them, there must others, too. It seems that

we found them schooling at the mouth of a tributary creek in June

last year or the year before. There were three of us in the boat so

we kept 15, but probably caught 25-30 apiece. Amazingly, every fish

came from the same cookie cutter, the size of each fish did not vary

more than a few ounces.

So, I'm busted...I have fished for them, too. I suspect Mike Whitten's

interest is for tournament fishing, especially on a slow day. Kentucky

bass count and although you're chances of a big fish are slim, they

seem to be found in schools. Quick limit?  Makes sense to me.

Actually he was telling me about 7lbers being caught in Bay Springs?? I think a few of those will put a dent in the scales  Kent I forgot you live on the wrong side of Tennessee .
