Has anyone used bread balls to catch HSB? The kids and I were fishing this afternoon and caught 4 HSB on bread balls. They look alot like a slow sinking fish pellet. I finally told the kids we had to move. Because they kept hitting them as soon as the kids would put the hook back in. The HSB have only been in the pond about 1 mon. they looked to be in very good shape, good color and fat bellies.

John, I haven't used bread balls, but it doesn't surprise me that the HSB will hit them. HSB are also notorious for biting on liver. Some of the biggest HSB are caught by catfishermen.

Agressive little son's o' guns, aren't they. \:\)
