Breaking: New NC state record spotted bass caught at Lake Norman!

The North Carolina state record for spotted bass has apparently been broken, and not surprisingly it is again a Lake Norman fish and angler that will hold the title.

Before moving part time to this area I had never caught a spotted bass, but I can tell you they are an aggressive fish that is more fun and feisty than a largemouth. Norman is full of them and they are a terrific wintertime bass. The way they chase bait in the shallows reminds me of specks.
