I don't know about the rest of you but I love catching BIG spotted bass! I know on the ohio river i have caught many in the 2-3lb range and have caught some on rough and nolin that were nice but i was wondering if anybody has caught really good ones (2-4lb) on Barren, Green, Rough, or Nolin?
The biggest I've caught is from barren which was only about 3 pounds. I'm sure there are some big ones in Barren. I've only caught dinks in Nolin and Rough. Your next best bet would be Green.
Green has some really good ones and they're really biting right now....my friend had one in the 4-5 range last winter
My biggest Spot ever was slightly over 4lb and came fro Barren off of a Lime buzzbait. I've caught alot of spots in between 2 and 3 pound. Barren has some pig Spots, and Dale has the best average size Spots in the state in my opinion, some real footballs.
I always wondered about green but i figured that barren would produce some flat slounches but I ve yet to catch one. Spot are like smallies in some ways because they're there one day and gone the next. I believe that there are plenty of 5lbers in Barren but they are so hard to really follow to actually catch more than one. Hey I don't know I could be wrong but I do love BIG SPOTS!!!:D
4-13 on FNF at Dale Hollow. The last fish ever caught in my Buddys boat before he sold it, plus it gave me a comeback victory 7-6 for the day. One of THE if not THE prettiest fish I ever caught with beautiful lines.
Got to love those spots smalljaws and I bet there are bigger ones in there than that. But hey 4-13 some people never c a lm or sm that big let alone a SPOT. Congrats!!
Dale Hollow has a ton of spots and they all seemed to be shaped like footballs!
Two years ago, caught a spot at Green 4-11 on a senko. Few years before that, had one on a spinnerbait in March, 52 degree water, in 2 feet of water that measured 21 inches and was full of eggs, didn't weigh her. Both were caught in Robinson Creek.
i catch good spots on Barren by targeting Smallmouth kind of structure.... caught a nice 2 pounder this last monday... he hit that jerk bait like a freight train...
Cumberland has some toad spots but I can only seem to catch them in the winter, also dont forget about Laurel.
Ditto on Green. I have caught several in the 3 pound range there.
