Sometimes the evidence of spawning is a lack of catching. Keep after em! 

Well...that’s a given! ?

Went out on Easter Sunday and caught these two beauties. First one was 8 lbs the second was 6 lbs. These are the biggest bass I've ever caught especially for Smallmouth. Caught these on my new Lew's spinning combo. The combo was only a hundred bucks and I wasn't too sure how it would perform because I have never spent money on a combo before. It seemed to handle these hawgs just fine. Time will tell of course.

What scales did you use, I think I want to buy the same model you used.

Got out to a few hours after work today. Got 6 total 3 on a spinnerbait and 3 on a buzzbait  with the best a  chunky 4-0 on the buzzbait.

Those are really nice fish, congrats!

 

I'm....not so sure they're 8 & 6 Lb. I recommend checking your scale. Divided by 2 and maybe add 0.5-1 seems more plausible, and would still be bigger than most smallies I catch.

congrats on the 3 and 4 pound smallies.  If you used a scale I would get it checked.

Lake Menderchuck was good to me this afternoon.

That'n looks like it might have some kinda thyroid condition. I'm glad you came along to give it some excercise.

@A-Jay How close have you come to your state record, 9.33 lbs I think?  Those smallies you caught would pop if they got any bigger!

A 9lb brown bass is a Very Rare fish. 

 I have several over 6 and my PB is a 7.29. 

But I often fish the same 'water' that the state record came from,

so I suppose anything is possible . . .

Amazing!  A 7 pounder is a rare brown bass as well, we don't have any down here!  I love seeing your pictures of these huge smallies!

A brown bass is a rare fish around me! Think I caught 2 last year. The ponds I fish have some in them but I never seem to find them...consistently anyway.

I agree I got to get that scale calibrated but I guarantee you they were more than three or four pounds

Hello all! It’s been awhile since I have posted, lots of family health issues and working crazy hours, things have finally died down and I hope to keep back on here as much as possible. The best thing though is the water is warming up and bass are moving in! Past 4 days have been epic! Between 50-60 bass caught each day and broke my new record smallie! Weighed in at 6 pounds 6 oz !!! Can’t wait to see what the rest of the reason has in store. 

Some more brutes ! 

@Ksam1234, congrats! Nice catches
