<br /> After reading reports all week knowing my pets were spawning I could not wait to get my mom and dad on the water this morning. We put in at 7:30 and headed straight down to the bend even though I knew my pets had been hammered all week. I wanted to get my dad on a good topwater bite and with the fish finally spawning I was not disapointed.<br /> With my dad throwing a torpedo, my mom throwing a pig n jig and me throwing a spinnerbait the spots did not stand a chance. We boated somewhere around 25 bass in the first hour of fishing, with a lot of them coming on top. My parents even got a double. The topwater bite played out as soon as the wind started blowing so we moved to my #2 bank up river.<br /> I gave my dad the spinnerbait and I started using a small crankbait and we continued to catch one spot after another with a few google eyes along the way. We left this bank with 51 bass boated and headed to my #3 and final spot.<br /> Spot #3 is where the google spawn in force and we boated one after another with the occasional spot mixed in. I got the big spot of the day on a crappie jig at 2.6 lbs. Fun fighting a fish this big on 4 lb line. Mom and dad were both now throwing pig n jigs and catching one fish after another. <br /> We left at 11:30 to go eat and the fish were still tearing it up. We ended the day with 62 spots, 3 LM, and 48 google eyes. 113 fish got into my boat today and we easily hooked and lost another 20-25. That equals to 16.25 bass boated per hour and 28.25 total fish boated per hour. I will take those numbers any day. <br /> Perfect mothers day with my parents with many quality fish being caught. The pictures say it all.
