Ive seen beds down here up to 4-5 foot accross with 10-12 pound female and 3-4 pound buck bass sitting on it. I feel thats one of the best ways to scout a lake to see how big the fish run in it by walking around with polorized glasses while on beds and seeing whats out there. I saw a few in one small lake that might go over 12 so maybe I'll hook into one of those big girls this year[cool] they get lock jaw sometimes on bed and wont bite lizards, crawfish, all your traditional spawning bass baits. So I like to try them right after the eggs hatch and they are guarding fry are right after and the bluegill move on the beds, the bigs ones always seem to be lurking right off the shallows waiting to make a run through the bed and seem alittle more aggresive down here. At the same time I've killed them sitting on the beds full of roe on flukes all day long. Bass seem to have differant personalities on differant bodies of water.
