I was fishing the other day and while it had been my first time fishing in the morning in a loong time. I caught about a half dozen bass most of which were fat? Same lure, same technique, but fat bass? Its probably just some females since it looks like they're already spawning. But its the first ones that have had any belly that I've seen in awhile. 'Course couldn't toss them. They were only about 11" each but didn't look like they were in bad shape at all. Could be good or bad seeing them because I've been seeing some 3"-4" bass swimming around and the same bluegill minnows from last year. Same bluegill, new bass I guess.
I tried fishing for bluegill using a little jighead w/ a twister kind of thing and all I caught was a 4" bass! Been seeing more of that year class lately including some 6"ers and like always many in the 9"-11" area with the occasional 12"er. The neighborhood kid was out there fishing w/ me a few days ago and caught a 9 1/2" bluegill
. It wasn't some old bluegill either looked like it was only a few years old. Cleaner more brighter colors. It almost got away too. Got a lucky stab at it and he went and showed everyone else before he put it back
