I caught a 2 3/4 pond CC this weekend, she was full of eggs and ready to lay soon. Of course I know, you know, the only way I would know is when I cleaned her. But I figure there are other females in there ready as well.

I also caught a little CC about 8 or 9 inches long. Now I'm not sure if it is one of our babies or if it is the one hubby caught at a lake close by and released in there a week or so ago. Altho we both thought it was smaller then the one he released.

My question is, how long do CC stay on a nest and do you think any will survive with LMB in there. I know we have had some survive in the past as we have several diferent sizes come up to feed, when they do feed. :p But the Bass have grown a bunch and I have had a hard time catching them.

Which leads to another question. Will LMB eat a 5-6 inch BG "IF" there are a bunch of smaller BG between 2-4 inches?
