Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Sunfish-Including Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass anise worm questions and RES

I read this article and have three questions:

1. What is an anise worm and is it worth the hype? Is it supposed to have a particular scent or is it a special shape or texture?

2. Seriously, a 5 pound RES in Georgia? What are the records in states outside of Michigan?

3. I have thousands of snails but my FHM and GSH just went in about 2-3 weeks ago and i want to give them some time to have one or two spawns. Is there a source for RES close to W Michigan that is recommended and should I stock this fall or wait till next spring?
