We were in Atlanta for a couple of days and I got a guide "Jimbo" and fished lake Lanier on Monday for spot. We were fishng topwater in the middle of the day with boat traffic all around. It was crazy. We caught a bunch with the biggest around 4 lbs. these fish are fighters and a lot of fun to catch. First time we ever caught spot being from the north and were very impressed. 

love me some spotties

Nice. That's on my bucket list. A day fishing for spots. We don't get them up our way.

They are pretty  fish .

Good job,glad y'all caught em good

Love catching them, but we don't have many here. Our state record spot wasn't quite 4.5 pounds, and that's from the 70's. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a largemouth and not a spot. I caught one of the largest spots I've ever caught in Kansas about a month ago. They do love their topwaters.

For a Kentucky Strain spot, that is huge!

spots are great  especially on top water . warning! they do fight back after in the boat , I have picked out a few treble hooks. ouch! nice fish! cusa river chain in bama is excellent for them.
