Bass can absorb their eggs, but its usually only during extremely unusual springs. I saw it happen one year on the Northcoast (think about the climate there, 65 degrees is warm and spring can never come). I actually killed a few fish in July one year and they had severely reduced, crystalized eggs in them. Very strange. I seriously doubt that this will happen this year in any of the foothill or valley floor reservoirs. Its just an extended spawn.
