Well done Boycie.
Two beautiful fish there.
As someone already suggested, the bass looks like it has just spawned.
Hopefully she did because apparently the bigger the bass the more eggs she lays. Apparently the bigger bass also lay the strongest eggs with a higher survival rate of juvenile fish. Therefore it's obvious to see the bigger the fish the more important she is to the stock levels. So you've got a truly special fish there Boycie.
With a bit of luck she'll lay just as many next year!
Well done man.
Yours enviously,
John D
