With my Polaroids,
I've watched fisherpersons cast vigorously at the nests in shallow water while those big (some huge) female bass lurk on the other side of the boat!
Now a ¾-pound bluegill has created a nest just 10 feet from the week-old nest of a 1¼-pound bass. The bass, instead of slowly rotating (
clockwise, I've noticed) around in his nest, is pointing all the time at the bluegill. Maybe it's not that unusual, but I haven't seen this before.
