GOherd..your fish have great color and they look super healthy..look like great fighters as well. Stocky fish.
I noticed that as well. Those southern bass you guys and girls have been catchin look awful skinny.

Could be that your fish have just spawned outand are worn down. Where mine are just fattening up and heading to the beds. The water temp. on the main lake is 62-64 degrees. And its 65-68 degrees in the creeks. For the first time yesterday I noticed alot of bass up in the shallows making beds. And a few that looked like they were already on beds. That is unusual in April. Its usually the first few weeks of May.
