    Hi all, I wanted to share a picture of a bass we caught this weekend. I took my buddy and his son out on the Mississippi and chased some smallmouths and walleyes. Little man caught this one and might have been his PB. I have never seen one like this before. I have seen a few walleyes and a largemouth with a black spot/tattoo but never seen one covered in them. It was super cool!!!

    That is pretty cool, Joe! That would make for an interesting carving!

    I’ve seen a couple like these in pictures, but never in person. That’s a really nice fish

    Cross bred with a sauger?

    I joked that a leopard frog spuzzed all over the bass’s spawning bed. Haha. It does look like a leopard frog pattern. This fish was lucky one of his own didnt eat him when he was young.
