I was watching Basspros on Vs. the other week and Edwin Evers said they get that when they move up shallow from deep water. According to him you see it more in the spring because they were in deep water during the winter. I guess in the winter if the surface temps warm up from warmer rains that could bring some largemouth up. Anyone ever see these on smallies or just largemouth?

Joe,

I've watched some fishing shows where they're on the Great Lakes and they're pulling smallies up with those blotches all over them. I forget which show it was (probably a couple years ago) and they said that it was "good luck" when you would catch one. These guys even kept on fishing until they got one with spots. Until they caught one, they had to continue the show.........couldn't stop recording until they nabbed one.

These guys were saying that they were from pollution before regulations forced companies to clean up the Great Lakes. They said even though the lakes were cleaned up as conservation projects, there are still remnant pollutants present. ????? Kinda far fetched.....

I had a GREAT day two years ago at Jacobson Park yes Jacobson Park and several 2Lb bass had black spots on them. Very pretty but my guess is something they eat. I caught 27 keepers that day in a few hours fishing from 2-4 Lb and only the 2Lb bass were spotty. I have seen many out of KY lake that are spotty as well on TV shows.
