Thanks, Snakebite. I will presume shiner because I have supplemental stocked shiners. Lake chub sucker would be a stowaway.

Video showing yellow perch and coppernose bluegill dining together. With a largemouth bass hanging around ...

The white eye CNBG took a hook through its mouth and out that eye a few months back. Looks like it is doing well though.

3 minute in duration video of a smallie and a couple largemouth (plus a ton of CNBG). Smallie was stocked couple weeks back, looks like it did when stocked (wasn't a fat smallie, but a beauty color thinner smallie). One fat hawg LMB in the background and a smaller LMB as well.

BTW, to me this is one of the coolest vids - having both a smallmouth and a largemouth under the dock with a crapton of forage fish around them. I'd like to look inside the belly of the fat bass and identify what she is eating - perch or bluegill. Thank you again to 2 PBF members for making the smallies possible!

Bill -

I do not know the vegetation. I know the yellow perch love it - egg laying and swimming about within it. They scatter and disappear pretty quick in that vegetation for sure.

IF ANYONE KNOWS THIS VEGETATION please pipe in. I can take close up pics, pull up a club to show bulb/roots, etc.

Basslover in the small mouth video, what appears to be the white knot on the lower jaw of the SMB?

I don't know what that is. When I received that smallie it had that knot. It doesn't appear to have grown any larger when I compare pictures of the day I got it and the most recent video.

That is cool!
I would say that SMB has a sore on the tip of its jaw from rubbing on the edges of the holding tank it was in. It might feed better once it totally heals up. It did look thin.

It looks like the YP and SMB acclimated well to the pond! Basslover, you have one beautiful body of water!

Basslover, your videos are amazing!

It surprises me that they're not more skittish around the camera, if maybe not even the opposite as it appears many of them are curious about it.

To see all the different species swimming together is so cool! Although I'm still waiting for an ambush to be caught on camera!

Thanks for sharing!

Keith -

Thank you. Yes the fish are definitely curious. Or at least some of them are. Others swim away quickly but most hang where they are and some approach.

The LMB are well fed. I'm waiting for the ambush as well, but when I look at their bellies they are bulging so I doubt I'm going to capture it on video on a short trip. So I'm going to try to camp out and run a couple of cameras 24/7 from different angles to see if I can capture anything. Have the clarity and the fish and equipment, just need time to camp out for a couple of days and nights.

I really don't know. I will take some snaps of its root system and close ups of it. It looks similar to eelgrass. It grows tall - 5 feet tall by end of Summer.

do it grow out of the water too or only under the water?

They're very cool, RC! I have a Hero4 that I got for our trip and have used it several times underwater to film the fish feeding, but my water clarity is so poor that you only see a flash of the fish attacking the food. My LMB hang out under the dock ambushing the BG as they feed but I've yet to capture one in the act.

I'll wait for basslover to provide that footage! smile

Yeah I have water just like BL very clear! I can see 5 to 7 feet easy.... It would be cool to do some of that.

It can and does grow out of the water, but mostly in the shallower 4' and less areas. Due to clarity it will grow to 5' or more but that is usually end of Summer and so the process reboots.

It is pretty easy to pull - grab the club near the base and pull up. Comes up pretty easy - most clumps do.

The yellow perch decorated it like crazy with egg ribbons.

I love it! That grass is cool because its not to thick but thick enough to keep fish and not so hard to chunk certain baits through... Plus some serious frog action over it would be sweet!!

Caught a few CNBG this size last weekend. Stocked almost 2 years ago. Not the largest spotted but a nice non-fed (feeder) CNBG specimen.

Two years ago when I did initial stocking of LMB, RES, and CNBG I also dropped in 40 pounds of crawfish. For the first month or so I would see them along the banks in shallow water. But then no more sightings. Fast forward almost 2 years and while removing some leaf debris in the shallows I saw a large crawfish - a big un so much so I enjoyed watching and left the pinchers be. Then I got these two fellers. Definitely surprised me to find crawfish still around. Good stuff.
