Eastland:

What size Shiners do you catch RES on? (And what size RES is "larger" to you?)

I catch my largest Redears (up to 9" so far) more readily than Bluegills the same size, on worms and at or near the bottom in 3-4 feet of water. The RES mouths I have seen could handle an adult Fathead, but nothing larger.
