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

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

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