Thanks guys.....I concur Jim that this is a spawning male and you guys are right..........no tight circles on these fish.....the bite can often be lighter than a bluegill but they dig for the bottom on hook set here........very strong fish when you get these larger specimens........you will find that they are more difficult to lip as well.....
