Went fishing a couple of times the past two days. Weather has been very hot, air temps in the 90s and water temps (surface) in the 80s. managed to catch two pond records, a 9 inch HBG and two 13 inch LMB. Bass gave a good fight and jumped repeatedly. Notice the mouth size of the LMB, I feel like they have relatively small mouths. Has anyone else seen this? Is it due to their fast growth rate?
Also, I've seen large amounts of LMB fry that were more than willing to chase my lure even though they are barely half an inch. Despite the large amount of bass fry I haven't seen any BG or SF fry. I will wait to be worried until later in the year, just an observation. Maybe the bass simply spawn earlier?
