Thanks everyone I fear i put a few to many of them in my pond as some of my LMB are starting to suffer. I am seeing a little more big head small body out of my bigger LMB so I fear my HSB are winning the battle. So I am starting to keep everyone I catch now and put in the freezer!!
Flame I have the same issue with my LMB sometimes they can be hard to catch for sure. I put a live BG on my hook one day after Dave Davidson told me to try it with a bobber about 2 feet up from the hook and I caught a LMB in like 5 minutes. One thing I have noticed is that these fish see and eat a certain bait day after day after day after day and if you can mimic that or use the real thing your fishing will be much better that's for sure! I also have good luck with the Senko for my LMB.
