Do you love big bluegill?
Mount of Record Bluegill?
I have a cloudy recollection from the mid 50's that I hope someone can verify and/or refute:
I also fished East Lake (and swam in the pool) in the 1950s. My cousin (Jimmy Hightower) was a lifeguard at the pool and preformed humorous diving shows. I remember his water skiing the length of the pool being pulled by a rope passed through the fence to an automobile. Sorry, I digress.
I have a recollection that I saw the mount of THE bluegill in a bait and tackle shop across 1st Ave. from the lake. The bait shop was perhaps owned by a Mr. Alford, whose daughter (Beckey) was Miss. Alabama in 1967.
Any of this ring a bell with anyone????

My father T.S. Hudson caught this fish and I have it mounted. Doubt it was out of his posession ever.

Clay- There's a photo that I just put up (in the photo section) that I believe I got from Bruce that is a fiberglass copy of the world record Bluegill skin mount.
