We started fishing our usual hotspots right off but only got a few bites one 7" bass for my dad and two 12"-14" bass for me. We moved to a spot that usually gets good in mid and late summer thinking maybe they had already moved into it and sure enough my dad hooked into a nice 18" bass. It was a beauty not too fat though only weighed about 3.5lbs. The I caught another 14" and my dad caught another 18" looked like the same exact fish but we couldn't tell.
