Hadn’t fished much this spring due to family events and arthritis flare ups. Fished an event yesterday and and ended up finishing 3rd. 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!

Nice when you can catch largemouth and smallmouth on the same body of water

Nice haul of bass. Any day out fishing is a good day weather one catches fish or not. Your weather is way ahead of ours.

Most of them were caught on top water. Others on jig with craw trailer.
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.

Yeah 2 are. Largemouth we call them green carp. They got in our way and outweighed the 2 spawned out brownies we culled them with.

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