Hey embrey how many times have you caught a bass that you know is a female because of the big belly and there is not a bed to be seen anywhere but its tail is bloody and / or worn off at the bottom? I have done that hundreds of times over the years . Also the next time you catch one under those conditions notice that it is ALMOST always the very bottom of the tail not up and down the whole tail like the buck bass usually is...

i agree 100% that that doesnt mean theyve spawned, but ive caught many that has the whole tail tore all to hell and back
