I you can get within casting distance of them I would try to put on a big weighted treble hook and case over them and snag em. Least this way you get to fight them too and have some fun!! Get a good rod and reel though... lol

I will eventually shoot mine I spose but I am only in a 1 acre pond. So it's not near as hard to find them. I have one it's so big we nick named her Nessie. She has got to be 43 inches. Mine are now all 7 years old and they say after 7 years they are pretty much not helping a whole lot and don't eat that much but if you have some goodies in the pond I am sure they will still eat them...

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!!
