Title: Potholes Largemouth
Post by: SpokaneSlayer on May 02, 2010, 09:18:48 PM: Hit Potholes yesterday with a friend. Managed 2 fish, 2.8 lbs and 3 lbs. The largies are starting to move up to the spawning flats. My buddy caught 2 fish as well, 4.5 lbs and 4 lbs. The only bad part of the day was we nearly swamped the boat when we speared a 4 foot swell.
