Comment by Steve Crowder on May 1, 2011 at 4:13am: Where do you find large CN bluegills in your area Rob? My family is close by, Rancho Mirage & Palm Desert. May have to get there soon to find those CN's.

Comment by Rob Hilton on April 30, 2011 at 1:26pm: My son and I love Bluegill and Redear equally... but there is something about those big Coppernose...
