Could it be the DFG (W) wants the spotted bass to be "gone" for some environmental or biological region?
Wide open spotty bite on the arroyo toad.....:)
Did anybody catch the episode of Unsolved Mysteries" with Robert Stack of the alleged Lake Perris Spotted bass. Some guy had a cousin who had a friend who hooked one and lost it at the boat in 2007. The whole debate is shrouded in mystery and a possible coverup is alleged. Also, alleged, picture evidence of a spot, but the picture is out of focus and grainy. The truth is out there....somewhere
"In Search of..."......i belive that was narrated by "spock". Good stuff
Funny thing about this thread. I've waited and waited and waited for someone to post a picture of the spotted bass that many have claimed to have caught, knowing that such a special catch of a supposed extinct species (out of Perris at least) would normally be documented in a picture. If a picture existed then maybe the experts could verify the possibility it could be a spot or discredit it altogether.
Oh well guess this is the Lockness monster or Bigfoot of lake Perris, many believe it exists but no real proof.
