what % of fish you've ever seen caught during spawning temperatures were spilling eggs?
I know it can happen, but I personally have never seen it out of several hundred fish caught during the time/temperature when some fish were spawning, or could have been. THANKS!

Of the females during spawn.. most of them dump eggs when you pick them up.. that being said when they are truly spawning/ dumping eggs fishing is generally not good and 95% of what you'll catch is males...caught hundreds of those too ..funny none of them seam to dump eggs

I got the male/female thing figured out thanks!
...The question is, how often are you catching ripe females?? You are saying 5% of your catches during spawn? That is higher than my experience. Thanks for your input!
