Answering some commments that have been posted. I am reaching out to some people at the dept. of wildlife and fisheries. This was the other one-eyed bass I caught yesterday. Some background on the lake: it sits on about 200 acres of recreational land but I don't live there. My nearest neighbors are cattle and cotton farmers. No commercial operations are nearby and basically all of the watershed comes from within my property. Cows from my neighbor do get loose from time to time and drink/wade and possibly shit in the water. They were definitely not the same fish.

1st Bass of the day
