I just caught 35 3lb bluegills. Out of a secret underground pond I built myself with a spoon.. Battery was dead on the camera  Oh snap are you calling me out!! Don't worry I got the pics they will be up soon! These red ear are sweet!! For me anyway they are! Give me another hour or so and I have them up.
The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

Ok here they are! This first one actually broke my line. I think the line was weak anyway but I had to actually pic the line up from out of the water and pull him in hand over fist. It was great! The RES was 10.5 inches. I didn't get a weight on it but wow it has to be from my original stock 3 years ago. The board the fish is on is 12.5 inches long.   This second RES is nice to I think it's 10 to 10.5 as well. It didn't even take my bobber under it just kind of played with it and I set the hook for fear of something swalling it and BANG fight was on!!  And this pic here is just a bonus! I got close enough to the king of the pond to take a picture so I did. Man the Bully is hugh!!! What a frog! It had some babies near by so it wasn't going anywhere.  And now that I am feeding I can't wait to see the size BG and HSB I am going to get!! thanks,

My dad caught a real nice one last year it was about 7.5 inches. It hit on a mini hula popper believe it or not. Here is the pic.
I believe it even without the picture. I caught an 8" RES on a 3" "Wild Eye Sunfish" lure while LMB fishing. Either RES are overly optimistic or vicious, of maybe both.

I don't have any RES (yet) nor have I ever fished for them before, how do you catch them? Will a bobber and worm near the bottom work?

Yes they will. I actually cuaght these 2 with bobber and worm with bobber about 2 feet above the worm. They will also hit small popper baits, baby mepps spinners, and beetle spins.
Thanks,
