I have been working for myself for the last few weeks, because work at my normal job is slow. Bid out a nice little deck for some people and will make a pretty good pile of cash off of it. My tournament partner is working with me.

We drove the fifteen minutes to the gas station by the job and I thought out loud "I should be fishing". Well, as it turns out, I have little willpower, so we went back for the boat

We got to the lake to find exactly what I was expecting, approaching storm, overcast and windy conditions ;D ;D ;D ;D. Perfect conditions for the big spotted bass in this lake.

Threw one of the baits that I build for awhile with no love on top, so I picked up the 10" TT. On about the 3rd cast, I get freight trained. Slide her into the net and she is my new PB spot at 5lbs! Sweet!

About 20 minutes later after 1 bite that I missed, my buddy and I cast as far as possible at about the same time. He gets a blowup and I see that it is a big fish, so I start burning my bait back, he dumped it cause he sucks so I slow back down, as soon as I slowed down, she whacked it near the surface. I thought she was bigger because she has a monster head for a spot, but she was real lean at 5lbs2ozs, so another new PB!

I felt like Triton Mike out there catching big spots on the TT! Good times, specially on a day that I was supposed to be at work ;D

Those are some Money spots way to hammer um Keep Slaying um ;D

Nice lookin' spots you got there 4biz! Cali definitely has some purty fish.....congrats on the PB's!

From what I have noticed the only real difference between a largemouth and a spotted bass is the spotted bass have more distinct patterns on them. They are usually a much more attractive looking fish. That and the fact that they are usually smaller than largemouth. Are there any other ways you can tell a spot from a largie?

Those are probably some of the biggest spots I have ever seen.  Beautiful colors on those fish.  Good job man, and on a swimbait!!  WOW!!!  8-)

Bad azz

Totally cool  biz.

You should let one of your shorter friends hold the bass though.

I mean a 5lb spot is huge

except next to you it looks like fry.  ;D

I know Avid! Being a freak of nature makes for some lack luster fish pics sometimes, thats why I squat down alot, makes me more compact, LOL!

I'll tell you guys, those big spots are some MEEEEEEEAN  SOBs! They hit it like they want blood!

This means I have broken my PB's for spots and smallmouth this year so hopefully in the next 2 months I can pull off the Trifecta

Come on 15+!!!!!!!..............<------------------- wishful thinking

Nice fish, GREAT pics!

Wow. Those spots are huge!

Alot of spots have red eyes, spots above the lateral line and the biggest character difference is that when a LM's mouth is closed, the jaw extends past the eyes.

  When a spots mouth is closed, the jaw does not extend to the eyes or past.

A spot in Texas averages about 1/3 the size of the LM, our record is 5.5lbs.

Great looking fish 4bz's.     Some very colorfull fish with beautiful patterns.

Nice friggin' fish bro. That kicks the **** out of my PB!

The 10" TT is the 10" triple trout, seen in the first pic.

Thanks Supermat.
