I was fishing Kentucky Lake about two weeks ago (March 16th). Water temps were in the low to mid 50s. I caught two large mouth that both went a little over 4 pounds. Both fish had bloody tails (one had blood dripping off its tail). Were these fishing spawning or were they about to spawn? It just seemed odd with the water temp and the place I caught them. The spot I was fishing was just inside a creek, but not far from the main channel. It was just a cut in the creek channel with a mud bottom. Boat was sitting in 15 feet casting into about 5 feet. I don't know what they would have been spawning on if they were indeed spawning. Maybe a stump on log I didn't see or feel. Was fishing north of 70 bridge but south of Paris.
Thanks
