I have watched this bed for the last 3 weeks, before there were fry. The fry are big enough to see now and dad is doing a good job chasing away bluegills from his little ones. I get a kick out of watching this. I know most of you guys see this stuff frequently but because I have watched it for some time I kinda have an investment in it. Like watching a TV program.

Anyway, here it is. On a crappy cell phone so quality ain't like a legit wildlife photographer. Just thought I would share.

Excellent job, watching this take place. Very few opportunities to see the actual process of guarding. Thanks for sharing the photo.

Yup that's 😎

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Do you act like your fishing there when a boat comes down the shore line? Lol. I read a story where a huge bass was bedding by a man's dock and everytime he saw a boat coming he would act like he was fishing there during tournaments..just so he could keep watching it...

Cool Picture!

super cool!! Thanks for sharing it!

Cool to see nature at work. The human race could definitely take lessons.
