took off monday to try to go catch some big spots with the river being up and rolling. i caught a bunch in the 3lb range before this one hit. i was throwing a big deep diving crankbait in some submerged rocks. almost every time the crankbait hit that certain rock one would hammer it. when that one hit i bounced the bait off that rock and it just stopped i thought i was hung until i leaned back on it and felt the headshakes. when i got it in the boat i realized it was the biggest spot i had ever caught but i wasnt sure how big so i put it in the livewell until i could get in some calmer water to weigh it. my scale bounced between 6-15 and 7-00 i kept it in the livewell for a few hours until i found another guy on the river with a set of scales his scales were back and for betwenn 6-11 6-12. biggest spot ive ever perosnally held the pictures really dont do this fish justice. the girth is just unreal.

hopefull the links work or someone can fix them for me

hard fail on the links.....

Sounds like a heck of a fish. I'll pm ya on the pics.

Good grief!!! Can't see the pics/links, but a spot that big is a super stud! I've caught a 10-12 largemouth, a 7-10 smallmouth, and a 6-00 spot, and without hesitation I always say I'm most proud of the spot. Caught that one on Logan Martin about 10+ years ago in one of the old wildcat derbys out of PoorHouse, 2:00 in the afternoon on a Spittin' Image. I don't think I've ever seen a bigger spot, dang I'm jealous!

i thought it was a 6 when it came out of the water. i caught several last year that were 5 1/2-5 3/4 qnd that one was noticably bigger

Geeot dawg

Heck yeah 🐋

DANG what a fish!!

That's a great spot ol boy!

Side note: if we ever have an ALDeer poker tourney, my money is on Beadle...that rascal is holding a spot of a lifetime and not even a sly grin

i was plumb give out

very nice. I know a guy who spots fish int he winter on 17 and whacks them big spots.

i fish up there some but ive got a buddy that lives a couple miles from the landing and fishes several days a week below 17 and hammers them up there

Nice. One day im gonna catch me a big ole spot.

Nothing like getting into a school of spots. Fun fun fun. Nice fish and congrats.

Damn what a fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonder what she weighed before she spawned

Holt, I presume?

not sure it woulda be much difference she was fat as a butterball

yes sir

Way to go! Dang good fish right there 👍

When I read the title, I thought he was gonna give up his best fishing hole!

Nice

Big Un!

Great fish. Congrats. That is a stud spot for anywhere in the southeast.

Ya'll need to google search "Bullards Bar Spotted bass" and look at the images and videos. Those fish are ridiculous out there. There is video of them boat flipping 7-9 pounders. It is the jurrasic park of spotted bass fishing and a 7-8 pound spot out there doesnt even warrant a second look.

Magnum spot!

my grandmother had a place on the titus side of jordan and we would go fish martin at night it was fun but the fish werent very healthy

i think one of the flw guys caught one that was around 11lbs. ive always kept up with them spots out there because they are from alabama spots stock from what i understand

The Spot Master strikes again. Great catch Beadlescomb.

Here you go Beadle.

There are so many spot's on Nealy Henry and Wiess now that it's more common to catch one than a largemouth.

I was fishing Wiess by the spill gate on some rip rap and got into a school once. Just like you was saying, when that plug hit a particular rock on the bottom , stop cranking , and then boom... they would smash it. We caught over 50 spots in a hour and a half on that rock. They ranged from 2.5 - 5 pounds. None that I can remember were under a pound. One of the best days I've ever had on a reservoir.

Yeah those are some hosses right there cuz

That's a hoss, congrats!

Congratulations Bud!
