One of the reasons I'm thinning the larger GSH out of my pond, I've pulled 60 out today, average size 6".

Shorty how are you catching them?
Posted By: Shorty Re: GSH Observation - 09/14/20 12:51 AM
Rod, feel, micro jig, casting bubble, and a small piece of nightcrawler.

Snipe what type of minnow/shiner is that? Doesn't appear to have the curved lateral line of a GSH?

This is a new community pond we just renovated early spring, filled and stocked early summer with FHM and GSH.

Did the GSH eat another GSH or FHM? That is a hearty appetite!
Posted By: Snipe Re: GSH Observation - 09/14/20 03:46 PM
It was a guess that it was a GSH fry based on eye size. Hard to tell for sure.

GSH will eat any other fish it can catch and swallow and eggs.

GSH? Looks like a common minnow but never heard of a gsh.

That could be said about any fish in the pond! Bluegills, Redear, Hybrid Bluegills, etc.

That one bit off more than he could chew.

That is basically true. There are a few grazers/filter feeders that don't - like shad and other herbivores.
