I always bank my damn green sunfish. Do you release yours?
Use them for bait. The big pond has them but we don't catch them often. They don't seem to be a detriment in that pond. Some of the other ponds are over ran with them, so that's where we bait fish.I always bank my damn green sunfish. Do you release yours?
The antlered doe was in perpetual velvet, and never seemed to gain any size to her antlers.Yea there is something amiss in the hormone department. If that is the case that deer will likely not lose its antlers it will be what is commonly called a "Cactus Buck". Perpetual velvet is a possibility.
The rain has been phenomenal!
It's a green eared sunfish. Absolutely wonderful bait! Lots of pond owners don't like them as they can take over to the point that they'll eat bass fry, and eat all the food that the bass would eat (they have big mouths). Bluegill have a smaller mouth and don't compete with bass for food.
They do stay longer than tall, and bass do love them. Although... I find more crawdads in stomachs than GS, I almost never find bluegill inside a bass. Sometimes observations don't line up with conventional wisdom.That looks like a wonderful forage for big fish. If they stay longer and not tall, a big bass and big catfish will eat a lot of those and get bigger using less calories for those sandwich fish.
And holy crappie! I bet those are eating some bass too. I’d assume that’s a management gift. All the public waters around me are polluted with tens of thousands of 6” bass that nothing can eat, so they all starve together.

The snakes are crazy. Is there that many of them in your pond? What team was playing for that he got to go over seas?
