Here is the crazy part. I caught this RES and a couple others just like it in 2013... Now I can't catch a big one. If these few are still in my pond they got to be big! This was 3 years ago... I just cant find em... I know they spawn very shallow so I wonder if my bigger ones got nailed by the GBH.... I don't know...

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
