Rare LM sighting.

[Ajohnson0587]

I’ve been fishing Lanier pretty heavily since I got my boat last April, yesterday I caught my first Large Mouth slow rolling a 3/4oz white/chartreuse spinner bait with rage swimmer as a trailer past a fallen oak tree, she hit it like a freight train. Boated 15 bass for the day, the rest being spots. All came on the same spinner bait, all were on cover against the bank or on a transitioning bank. They were all quality fish too(2-1/2 or better), Ironically the LM was just shy of 2LB (1-14oz). How offeten are you guys running into LM on Lanier?

If you fish where they like to live you’ll find more of them. I’ve mostly caught them in the back third of creeks.

I lived in Chestatee for a couple yrs and caught them but spot are why more common if you fish where the largemouth live.

I haven’t been there in a long time time, but I’ve caught my share when I lived in Oakwood. I lost a Giant on a c-rig with a lizard thanks to a straightening of the hook…….that’s the only time in my life that’s happened! I think it was one of those nostalgic moments I’ll never forget!

Can't even remember the last one I caught. It seams guys are catching more on the North end were I rarely venture.

Hired a kid a few weeks ago that lives on Lanier with his dad. Showed about 10 pictures of bass he is catching in and around his cove. All LM?

Spotted bass / Alabama bass have all but ruined our fishery for our native black bass species in Georgia.
I hope y'all are keeping all of those spots and bama bass you are catching.
