Just a bit more info. Winter pond temps rarely get to freezing and when they do, there is a thin layer of ice for no more than a week. The pond contains to the best of my knowledge: BG, "The fish in question",LMB, and bullhead cats. BG are the only fish I personally added. I am guessing the others were added naturally by a flooding creek or a "helpful" neighbor? The fish in question seems to be the first in the shallows to spawn because this is what I see most often shallow. The BG are out a little deeper seems like they are waiting their turn. I will get back with more info and pics ASAP. Thanks again for all of the help.
