Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Today I was at I 55 fishing and because of the way the boat was facing, I had to make a cast right handed...which I rarely do. My right hand..about 5 surgeries and a partially amputated finger.

Somehow I lost grip of the reel and it came out my hand and went into the water,, which is about 15 feet deep. How on earth can i get it back? its to dangerous to dive for it.

Yes I am no reel doctor. Guess take it apart, clean and oil it.

That's cool Timbaux....Hopefully it was just freshwater in the spillway and since it wasn't down there long you should be o.k. with minor tear down and oiling.....

Good job your one of the lucky ones. That was a very good idea to bad I didn't think of that when I lost mine years ago I don't even own a stringer I guess I'll have one by spring. I'm telling you, you learn so much from this site and people make it happen. We have a great site here with lots of great people. Good luck and GOOD FISHIN..

thanks!

 

actually i went to Academy sports in hattiesburg after church and bought two of those chain stringers. i dont string fish. but yeah is good to have.
