What a sick April! Went to a pond I haven't fished yet this year lat night, but it's an old favorite. We're talking full moon during spawn. REDICULOUS! I Expected a great night and I had it. Caught a bunch of bass including this 20.5 inch egg filled TOAD. Definately in my top 5 all time Colorado bass if not top 3. I had no scale which makes me sick. Mine is broken. If you can guess the weight of the big one, let me know.

I humbly apologize for the crappy job I did photoshopping the background, but I had to blur it to keep my spot safe.

Anyway, water temps about 65. Full Moon. Sky's were overcast and air temps were nice. Around 70ish.

I was hucking jigs, plastics and cranks including the sexy shad and red eyed shad. Large bass are staging on structure relating to their eventual spawning sites that have access to deeper water during this time and that's where I was fishing. Once again, it paid off.

First two shots are of the 20.5 incher. The rest are some of the other fish I caught. All hawgs over 15 inches.

This is a Boulder County TOAD!

Nice!  I wish you'd have had a scale with you too, because I'd like to know what that Co. gal weighed.

Awesome fish- BTW I went to college there in Boulder, loved the area but did not have much time to fish. I'm now in Tennessee and have some time to wet a line. Where did you catch those beauties?
