Most of us have seen bass on or around their beds while fishing in spring.
We’ve even seen underwater video of them guarding against predators.
You’ve GOT to take a few minutes, chill, and watch this amazing underwater video of smallies getting it on!
Spawning smallmouth bass
I’m a big proponent of leaving them alone during this time of year because pulling them off the bed can lead to completely losing all the eggs.
Predators such as crayfish, gobies and other fish often are waiting for the right moment to steal/eat the eggs completely wiping out a whole generation of future bronzebacks.
If you enjoyed this video, let us know and share it with your fishing buddies!
