Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Sunfish-Including Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass Why do Redear despise me?

My larger 8-9" RES are in great condition coming out of winter, not sure what the have been eating over the winter but the ones I have sampled are thick and in very good condition.

My smaller 5-6" RES are just more average in condition, I have caught a small number of YP and SMB in the 5-7" range and they seem to be in below average condition right now. At the moment I do have a very large year class of 5-7" GSH that most of my smaller fish are all competing with.
