<p>You have catching these huge shellcrackers down to a science, Chris. The presence of the high protine crawfish helps account for their size, but actually catching these monsters is a real art that most people never take the time to learn. You are the master Chris!</p>

<p>I always wondered which got bigger, the male or female? In my area, it seems like the female generally get bigger than the male does but I think that's because people around here hunt redear like they do deer.</p>

<p>If I had those two big males swimming around in my livewell I'd check on them every five minutes.lol. Those are trophy fish anywhere in America in my book...there's simply not that many shellcracker that ever reach the two pound mark or for that matter the one pound mark.</p>

<p>A 4 1/2 lb male RE is just crazy ! All of the 3+ lb'ers, and even that 2.80 were females. Biggest male I think I have caught, was that 2.2 I posted.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can't wait to see shots of that 4 1/2 lb replica....</p>

<p>Peace,</p>

<p>Looks like you worked for them in that hot sun, Chris. I would say it was worth it, nice catching.</p>
<p>I'm not that familiar with Redears and their habits, we don't have them up here in MN, but I do know gravity tells me the bite maybe on the later part of next week > early morning. </p>
<p>BTW the 4 1/2 pounder I mentioned I was getting to mold is a male. !PSYCHED!</p>

<p>Yeah, I agree with Jim, the look of those 2lb+ males are awesome and would certainly be on my wall.</p>
<p>It's amazing how many monster redear the Western states are starting to produce. </p>

<p>Hey Troy, I haven't fished a private pond for years (since I was a kid, and used to sneak onto them ;) LOL)</p>
<p>This lake with the big sunnies gets very light fishing pressure though, as it has a 10hp max, and no bodily contact.</p>
<p>It is slam full of crawdads, which I believe is the RE's main food source. Why they do not work as well as mini crawlers though, I have no idea ?</p>

<p>Yea', you probably know I chased trophy sized Bass, almost exclusively for about 10 years, fishing close to 1400 hours a year ! But I kind of burnt myself out on all of that, and have since just reverted back to my multi-species roots.</p>
<p>However, regardless of what I'm fishing for, I'm always after "the big one" ;)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good fishing to all of you guys :)</p>
