thought I'd post a couple pics from last night.
Any thoughts as to what kind of bass this is?
Guadalupe, Smallmouth, hybrid?
Right at dark I hooked a nice female that was 21 inches and heavy. Sorry for the pic. quality, I don't have a flash on my video camera. 
Had a nice evening with a good friend, the weather was great and we caught a couple fish. I love fishing this time of year, that Sharelunker might bite on the next cast.
Good luck everybody. |

Looks like a pure Guadalupe to me! Nice sized one, too!
Is there a pretty good current in Town Lake?
Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught.

About half the day the turbines run at the dam and the current is strong. Its the structure in the back of this pic. This fish was caught day before yesterday by my fishing buddy's brother. He's got the arm stretch working in this pic! 
How about this fish. Guadalupe? |

That looks more like a Spotted Bass. Does Town Lake have Spots?!?

Don't know.
Town Lake is downstream of all the highland lakes. But the TPWD website shows no listing for spots in the water body records from TL, Austin, or Travis.
We catch quite a few that look just like the one at the bottom. |

Doesn't Barton Springs pool flow into Town Lake?

I'll take Guadalupe for a Bronze Fisherman Award Pat... Guadalupe, spotted, Kentucky... No matter what part of the country you call it -- NICE FISH CLARK!!!!
Congrats on getting the line stretched and showing us how it's done In-Town....
Start getting some weights on these babies and maybe you can qualify for the Royal Bohemian. I just knew I should have added a category for spots, kentuckys, and guadalupes...
 Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish

Nice fish. I think that last one has to be a spot just because the mouth appears to be so small. If it is that's a nice one. Sounds like you guys are on some fish. It should only get better in the next few weeks.
If you're richer than me I think we're related. If you're poorer than me I know we're related.

Barton Creek does flow into Town Lake.
Spotted Bass... I knew they weren't Largemouths, smallmouths or a Guadalupe, but thought they were hybrids of some sort. Thanks Rudey.
And thanks Mike! |

Exactly Picou!
Once that Gulf warms up.....it's gonna be another story. Camera, truck, sand and sea. Shopping around for a "water - proof" digital camera housing right now. The scene control madness will go to a new level. |
