3 Freshwater AOTY slots done in 1 day @ Berryesa

Both bass are spots. LMB have the jaw way behind the eye. Next time feel their tongue. Spots have teeth on it.

Still better than working.

Tight lines~!

  Great report guys!  I appreciate it since I am stuck working all weekend long!

both are spots but nice fish regardless!

Thanks, I should know this, A true sign that I need to go fishing more.....   

Never really looked closely I guess till

   Bill put the Hammer on me last year for this one,   

I thought it was a small mouth, Red eyes and all,  Bill thought it was a spot....

what's the call????  Caught last year at Verona....

Good job on your 4 fish, nice pics. Berryesa is on my list to fish.

Effer! 3 (or 4) for AOTY and I got none!!!!!

Nice day OTW!

It was great fishing with you today Don. I wished the bite was better but that's
how it goes sometimes. I only managed to catch two fish. A spotted and a SMB.
I tried fishing for kokes and kings for two hours with no hit. Need to do more
research on how to fish for these fish. I'll include pictures tomorrow, too tired. BTW, the bass were caught on minnows.

I agree two spots.  Okay, but a triple is still respectable.  The fish at Verona looks like a smallie to me, and a nice one too!

WTG on the triple play Don

That last fish with the red eyes is a smallie/spot hybrid. There's a lot of them at Folsom lake. They have the same general shape and markings of a spot with the bronze color and red eyes of a smallmouth.

Since it's both, I'd throw it in the smallmouth AOTY since they will get much larger than most smallmouth will.

Sincerely,

nice going danglin, way to rip through some points, making it look easy, thanks for the report and pics, cameron

You go Don !!  good kharma makes great bait.

Nice slam Don.

Some pictures to share.

Don the spots have longer narrower tails at the wrist and the teeth on the tongue are the for sure tell tail identifier. Sometimes the spots are not as noticeble, so not always a good indicator. They also fight harder lb for lb. Nice mixed bag. Ain't it nice to see water up to the vegitation!! Nice report.
