Went out to get some early morning mothers day fishing in before I had to go to dinner. Water temp was 56 at 8:00am and very windy. Started by one dock and found a pair of bass on a bed. The female was huge could not get her to bite at all. Finally after a 1/2 hour I got the male to bite. He measured 21.5 inches in length and weighed between 4 lbs 10 oz to 5 lbs 2 oz the wind was blowing so hard I could not get the scale to hold still. As always the fish was released back to finish getting ready for the spawn. The female on the bed was double the size of the male but wanted nothing to do with me. Ended up catching six all on beds and all males. Wind would not stop so I left at 12:00.

Lemagoat It is long. I posted a bunch of reports last year during the spawn and the days after I seen people out there plucking them of their beds and keeping them. So I told myself during the spawn I would post under the secret lakes section until they are done. I don't mind telling you and the few others that I know are out there fishing for sport. But I kind off felt responsible for that last year. I tell you what though I seen probally 4 to 7 females that all had to be over 8# because they dwarfed this guy. If you ever see a little 15 foot challenger bass boat out there it is me stop and say hi.

That's awsome you do that, there was a small lake down here in centralia/chehalis area I always did good at even some bigger fish, hardly anyone fished it, then people started seeing me and my buddy out there all the time now it's always got someone in it, people keeping alot of fish too, I went once this year and seen one guy with 3, 2 pounders on a stringer and if i'm not mistaken that's illeagel aint it? they were all over 14 inches! and under 18. I couldnt catch any in there anymore. well you prob wont see me out there I only fish in a little 2 seater plastic boat, I'm a small lake kinda guy.

Well maybe I will run into you at macintosh one day. When we went there the other day I had two on this size but got all excited and missed one completly and the other I lost at the boat. And yeah I believe those fish are in the slot limit. They need to patrol these boat launches more and check these people coming of the lake. Maybe that will cut down on people keeping them illeagaly. If I don't run into you on the water have a good year fishing.
