me and justin gehring caught a couple nice bluegill out of my fish pond last night, this is no lie, the biggest was close to 9 inches, which is not bad for the ole fish pond, caught them on tubes and flukes

I caught a 9 inch redear on ultralight at Baldwin a couple weeks ago. Didn't have any plans for mounting it. It ended up being dinner that night.

Sweet Quack! We haven't gotten into the bluegills yet. Maybe we'll give the morels a break one day this weekend to go after them.

OK, I like walleyes, crappies, and bass a lot, but it's awful hard to beat bluegills. Yum! That's a nice looking slab there.
