It’s a start…

I wonder why their tails are all beat up this time of the year?

kinda always wondered the same thing here locally , lots of the late summer fish have shredded tails . I used to kid around about the fall spawn in a big way , but to be very sure . I think whatever the reason locally , it is not due to spawning
one fish, from yesterday looked like it had been in a fish basket for a week .....
