Funniest poll ever. I wanted to vote for "they should all die" but then I remember the days of dec. and jan. when it tough to even get bit on LM lakes and was thankful for lakes with Spots. So I voted for the bullhead one

Nico started calling the little spotted bass "sardines" on our last trip to McClure.

All day it was, "look those guys just caught a sardine", and "dammit I just caught another sardine".

The little ones really do look like sardines.

Stupid sardines

I voted for I love catching spotted bass.
super fun to catch. spots a vicious and mean.
Get a 6# largemouth on swimbait tackel and once you get their head up you can pretty much ski 'em in.
a 6# spot is a different story. those thing dont stop fighting even when you got em in the boat.
Wake bait spots are the best.
I get why you guys hate spots. They can and will dominate and destroy a good largemout fishery. But where I'm at I have just as good or better a shot at a 8+ spot as I do an 8+ largemouth. I'd rather catch a big spot than a largemouth of equal size any day.
and for smaller fish those 11" spots make excelant fish tacos:9 .
