Ding ding ding... Spotted Bass. They also put up the fight compared to a LMB. I knew it was something different looking down at him in the water and sizing him up verse the fight I was getting. Should of been a quick fight/swing him over the side instead I had to do a double take before going that route to be sure it wasn't something bigger.
Jaw hinges closer to the eye verse behind like a LMB. Tongue it more sandpaper like, coloring/patterns, eye color, smaller mouth, etc.
We caught Stripers too but not a bunch. The BIG girls are only around in quantity (autumn & early spring - two runs) Sep-Nov'ish and again Feb-April'ish. Hard to fish for them right now with the rock walls in that holds back water for farmers in certain areas/tracts. That holds the hyacinth in thus makes it hard to wing big swimbaits/top water plugs around and not get all hung up. Once the walls are pulled and the tidal system is working more up to par the Stripers start coming in more.
