Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

With the season slows down a bit, we're gearing up to fatten ourselves, while the gills are loosing their body weights.

From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving. Too bad we don't live in the days were the gills are the size of the turkey, to turkey day into the gillie day fest. One can dream about the GMO days of gills ahead.

Be safe, eat well, rest well, and get ready for some ice fishing ahead.

Happy Thanksgiving Leo and family! The Crappie bite hasn't slowed up here but for me the Gill bite sure has !32nd oz. tube jigs caught over 20 for me yesterday but with the size of the fish was enough of a meal for maybe one small BIRD  I'll be gaining a few pounds today thanks to wife Linda's wonderful cooking!

  AND A VERY HAPPY TURKEY DAY TO YOU AND YOUR GREAT FAMILY LEO !!   WHO IS DOING THAT BLUE GILL PAINTING?

No clue Carl. No clue.

Yup, hope everyone had a peaceful Thanksgiving.
