Spotted Bass are amazing predators. They are more aggressive than largemouth and more powerful than smallmouth. This bass is a perfect example of Spotted Bass aggression.

In case you’re wondering, this bass is spawning. Its a 3-4 lb male (very large for a Spotted Bass) and is defending its bed. You’ll notice though that where a largemouth will sit on its bed and a smallmouth will spin around in circles, a Spotted Bass will actually go on the offense. It rises toward the surface to meet its foe and will not stop until the job is done.

Its amazing what can be learned from watching underwater bass fishing. Leave a comment and tell us what you learned from this underwater video.

  1. Looks like the fisherman is pulling the bait a little too fast. This fish reminds me of a curmudgeon old neighbor yelling at kids who run acroas his front lawn…. if he could just catch one, he'll give it what for…

  2. Probably not the best idea to handle bass bare handed, I know everyone says the teeth are so small it doesn't matter but a few years back my uncle was stuck by a fin never thought much of it. His thumb swelled up and turned black over night, the fish had some form of flesh eating virus on it when it stuck him and they had to amputate his thumb may seem trivial but I watched him go thru it and I absolutely refuse to handle fish bare handed these days.

  3. Interesting that this fish pays so much more attention to the swim or initial fall of the swimbait, moving quite a distance from the nest to check it out/bump it/whatever, while it sort of ignores the fall of the jig but almost always picks it up once it's in the bed.

  4. Just caught my 1st spotted bass this past week in Shasta. Was an amazing experience. The fight of a 1.5 lber was equivalent to 3-4lb largemouth. Did some Whopper Plopper fishing just before sun down and they were seriously knocking my Plopper at times a foot out of water.. Never seen nothing like it before..

  5. Kind of curious. What you're showing is someone casting numerous times on the same spot before the bass gets irritated enough to start biting it, yet everything I have heard says don't cast to the same spot if you don't get hit in the first couple of casts. So unless you know the fish are there (if you have a boat and a fish finder) what good would casting a dozen times to the same spot do you? Wouldn't you be fishing very inefficiently?

  6. Agree with AJP . Seems to me like there is usually a 6" or so "sweet spot" on a bed and getting your bait onto that spot is more important than which bait you're throwing at em.

  7. That was interesting. He patrolled such a large area. As soon as it hit the water he was checking it out. Different than most largemouth I've seen. Also what a great way to end that vid! Cool series imo!

  8. This is absolute great footage for any angler wanting to learn a breakdown in bed Fishing. Watch how many clues the fish will give you as to where that sweet spot is in that bed. The funny thing is he will show you more clues with the swimbait coming through then the jig. When the fish has his back to you his tail is never passed the sweet spot in the bed on attack mode, and when he faces you coming in for the kill it's no more than about 8 inches in front of the camera. I would have to say my guess is right at the bottom of the picture is a white, brown and white pebbles next to each other. Every time The bait got to that spot that Fish opened his mouth more and hit it harder. Great stuff guys you really know how to get a point across. πŸ‘πŸ‘
