    Melvin I went to Wilson reservoir yesterday and fished spawning banks with a 3/8 oz. white spinnerbait, caught several small males and a 3.5lb female slow rolling, would you plz share how you caught your fish ?? THX

    Melvern was tough on me Sat. Could not keep those smalmouth hooked up. Had a a big largemouth bust my line as I tried to boat flip. He was much bigger then I thought, when I started to flip him in.
