Most guys will tell you to wait a month or so after spawn to start taking RW's and go from there. That give the female bass a chance to get back in the action. Now is really not a good time to be trying to size your fish because of the spawn. I would say if you caught one like that in the end of May and in June I would say you got a problem if it were 20 inches I would let it go and keep getting rid of the 12 to 15 inch range first. Give that 20 incher a chance to fill back out. But that just me.

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
