Lanier spotted bass

I took my dad fishing last weekend at Lanier and he caught a huge spotted bass on Sunday. I didn't weigh it, but I estimate it to have been between 6 and 7 lbs. I have caught a 10 lb and an 8 lb largemouth in the past, so I am pretty good at judging size. This was the biggest spotted bass that I have ever seen. The record is 8 lbs 5 oz. for GA. We caught it trolling near Old Federal campground on a point with jumbo live minnows using a half ounce sinker. I don't have a fish finder so I don't know the depth. That was the only fish that we brought in.
