    Holy Shishkabobs… Can someone say R-A-I-N! We launched in the rain at 5:15 and it came down HARD and STEADY for 2 hours… some lightning made us call it a night at 7:15. I sincerely haven’t seen rain like that in quite sometime… my rain gauage when I got home indicated 3 and 7/8 inches… now that is coming down!

    Fish were biting, and Slop Bass turned in some beauties!

    Of course, I should say… Slop Bass FINALLY caught some fish…

    Only took the guy 8 weeks… I guess during the spring, Slop just for the weeds to grow!

    Sincerely, nice job tonight, Slop… now, if we can find 5 of those next Saturday, we’ll at least gain some respect!

    Interestingly, Smallies were caught on the lake, a couple 3#’s… had spawn in them still. Does this surprise anyone? Seems late?

    Anyway, a wet night, and my boat will take a week to dry out… But, the fish were out!

    Sounds like you guys had a good time despite mother nature .
    From what I hear, you folks are in for a run for the points now . The odd makers are giving it to Slop with a 65:1 odds . The slop is coming up real nice on the lake now. He just wanted to give you guys a head start so he could quietly pass everyone up .
    But he did say there was some stiff competitors in the club, so he couldn’t make it look to easy .

    Reel Guy … Reel Guy…. Reel Guy….

    Last night was definitly the night to be out fishing. I think if we would’ve fished the full night, everyone would’ve brought in 6lb+ bags. The fish were ON and biting anything people threw at them. Spinners, Tubes, swimming jigs, scum frogs , it was def. a frenzy.

    If they have the tourneys, I think we know where we should go…that’s for sure

    Except I hate Slop fishing! Bring the wood, the rocks, the wingdams, the cut banks, the stumps, just PLEASE let’s leave the slop alone!

    So, no one knows, or it is common knowledge that Smallies are still spawning?

    It’s probably safer to say that where spawning is concerned, not everyone is subject to a timeline. Carp spawn for months. Those fish that were caught may have been moving back to their spawning grounds hoping to find some action after taking a boat ride to pool 8.

    It could’ve been an ugly female fish that no male fish wanted

    Did you squeeze the belly? Are you sure it just wasn’t stuffed with food? A long shot, but I have seen a couple that were gourging on shad schools that looked like they were full of spawn. I would be very surprised, as they generally spawn before largemouth, and most largemouth are done.

    As well as they were feeding, I would think it was a belly full of food….I didn’t get a good look at the fish myself..so i don’t know?
