Lake Lowell Largemouth Spawn

[SmartWeed]

I have always felt that the LL largemouth USUALLY spawn around the date of the May full moon. This morning I caught this nice 20" female that obviously decided that she preferred the dark of our recent new moon. I'd guess she went from a fat 4-5 pounder to a slim and trim 3-4 pounder overnight. I measure my fish, rather than weigh them, since her length stayed 20" through the whole process.


I also had an 18" fish which had not spawned that was caught about 1/4 mile from that 20" fish. These were two of 27 caught by 11:30, when I quit for lunch.
