A friend of mine caught one on a surface fly before, so you're right on that they are opportunistic. Funny thing is that if I through a cricket in the Redear would inspect for while but if I through a worm in bam instant reaction.

Redear are generally thought to feed primarily on, or near the bottom, but my largest one to date was caught on a surface popper tipped with a beemoth.... they are definitely opportunistic.

Were they spawning when this photo was taken, Anthony?

Wow..you haul catches back from the lakes or you have fisheries delivered? Great starting projects. You may be the next Bruce Condello LOL
