spotted bass on the Mississippi

[Steve white]

I started fishing for White bass in the Mississippi in october. I did well from the bank. But in the mix I've been catching some Spotted Bass. Nothing over 12 inches. Most are caught on White jigs. Also in the mix are Wipers. I've only caught 2 but both were 22 inches. One weighed 4 and a half lbs. One I have on video and caught it on topwater, last week. If I could catch Wipers on a regular basis, I be in heaven. I just retired 6 weeks ago and fish almost everyday. My best day was 32 Whites in 2 hrs.. to bad I have not been able to do that again.

I am also catching Asian Carp on a regular basis. Some are 30 plus inches. They will take a fly or a small jig. But most of the time they get snagged with a crankbait..
