If you can get on those fish tomorrow it would be worth $150 to you. Come out to Twin Lakes in the morning and fish with us.
$25 per team
Safelight till 3pm
should have around 15 to 20 boats unless it rains

That is not a spot. Look carefully! It is a redeye or as commonly referred to at Hartwell, it is a coosa. Not a spot and maybe close to a state record if it weighed 4.

I looked it up and the state record redeye is 5 lbs 2.5 oz. Extremely nice one though. The spots are making them disappear from Hartwell. They are not in there like they were several years ago.

It is not that hard to tell the two species apart. A redeye like you are holding in the picture has some dead give-away. They typically look more like a smallmouth than a largemouth. Really they look like a smallmouth with a largemouth body if you ask me. Anyway, notice the white sections along the bottom of the tail fin. That is a dead give away for a redeye. The nasty, no good, unwanted, trespassing spots don't have this. Also the strip of white around the eye is a give away. Most of the time you can simply identify the redeye by the color and markings on their sides but when in doubt, look for that white strip on the tail fin.
The DNR says the spots are cross-breeding with the redeyes and this hybridization is eliminating the species. The DNR is not worried that the non-native spots are displacing our natural largemouth. They simply don't have their priorities in order.
The redeyes in Hartwell are unusual. Where else can you catch a 4 lb redeye? Not many other places.

Thats why we call em spoosas on hartwell. I have seen 5+ pound spoosas come out of hartwell regularly especially in the winter.
