Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Would like to thank everybody who participated in the information on helping me to find a reel my wife can use so she can get back into fishing, something she hasn't got to do for 3 years now. I especially want to thank Greg McWilliams who would not quit till I found a reel for my wife and that we did. Greg gave me a site FISHING ABILITIES INC. There I talk to Dan Badur being handicapped himself who heads up the company. He had a spinning reel and a trigger spin. This was an easy one for me being is that the wife always used a push button Zebco 33. Now she owns a Zebco 33 triggerspin she will have to get use to it but I know she will do just fine. I would also like to thank FISHING ABILITIES INC for answering all my question and the quick turnaround in getting the reel Again thanks to all. Now all I have to get is a new light action rod for her reel.

That sounds really wonderful, Dick. Since you've got a big, stable pontoon boat, set up a tripod and video camera so we can all see that fish :-)  That reel looks like a great invention! It's wonderful to live in a time when technology can do so much to help people keep doing what they love.

No tripod and no video just me her the boat and the dog. She is very self conscious and a very special lady who has been through much and I will honor her every wish.  That not saying I will not work on that issue but need to leave it at that for now. Thank you for the reply. We have a great bunch of guys and not to leave out the ladies here at BBG.
