In Fisherman article " A Case for Selective Bluegill Harvest"

I strongly urge bluegill anglers nationwide to read Cory Schmidt's revealing and informative article 'A CASE FOR SELECTIVE BLUEGILL HARVEST" in the May issue of In Fisherman and realize that the future of trophy bluegills and quality bluegill fisheries is at least partly our own responsibility. The future of bluegill fishing is in our hands, and to ignore that fact will only lead to the continued decline of once great bluegill waters throughout the land. If you love bluegills, and especially big ones, read and apply this theology to your fishing so our grand children can enjoy these great fish to the fullest.

Find out why I release fish like this one. Thank you Cory Schmidt!

Fantastic article.  It should be REQUIRED READING for all freshwater anglers!  For non-suscribers to the magazine, I wish there was an  online link to the article, so the link can be posted everywhere.  Let me know if there IS a link.  I'll keep looking for it.  Thanks!
