The problem with those birds is they like to try and eat waaaaaaay more than they can... I have had 9 inch BG with gashes in them I've seen dead 3 and 4 pound bass on the shore with a big ole hole in them.... It's not about the small fish they eat. It's about the big one your been managing for 4 years now and in one strike it's dead....

To me that would be like me going on a deer hunt somewhere killing a nice 8 point but it's really not what I wanted and walk away and leave it there... just ticks me off them birds.... They do a lot more damage then you think. Specially at spawning time when fish are in shallow water on beds... I think that's why I cant catch any of my bigger RES I think there in fish heaven now..... Errrrrrrrr

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!!
