No big ones but some decent fish considering they have spawned out. all were little over 3 lbs each. Just thankful to be out and all in all it was a great day!

Yes we had an early spawn. 7 weeks of days in the 80's plus no rain they went on early. Some got pushed back because of cold snap couple weeks ago but will spawn this moon cycle. Water is low so no cover for the fry to hide around . I'm afraid the survival rate will be low.

If there is a more fun way to catch fish than top waters I don't know what it is. American Karens - not a fan
