NIce!
You need to buy a bunch of crawdads and shiners to put in there to fatten up the bass......just
based that nice bass with a huge head in the last pic. Those bass need more things to eat
and don't worry you will still be catching them and they will be even bigger! Tight lines always buddy. :-)

I can't find any pics at the moment of some of the skinniest bass I have caught over the years at Murray
and San V, but I have caught some big headed bass with skinny bodies. Just amazing how big the head and
mouth are and then you weigh it after looking at for a bit and just wished the bass ate better before you caught it.
My 9.50lb bass at Sutherland a few years back was a post spawn bass. Happy for sure....but could have been even
happier. :-)

Thanks for sharing! That last bass is all head.
The skinniest bass I ever caught were in Barrett late 90s when they had a shad die off. If you lipped them you could hear their jaws crunching. I was so bad. Ghost bass that hardly put up a fight. I also remember they would not hit a reaction bait. Spiltshot repapers were the ticket.
The fix to the lake is they took shad out of San V and transplanted them in Barrett. Funny, no San V is the lake without threadfin=D
