Those Redears can be elusive. I haven't caught any at my pond for a couple of months. Monday night, neighbors came by with 5 kids (4 their own) to go fishing - 2 of the boys caught RES, one of them for his first fish ever!

The four oldest kids each caught their first fish that night:

6.5" RES
5" BG
16" LMB
24" CC

It was a good night.
