Do you love big bluegill?
PR'ed at RM
After getting broke of twice, I hooked a heavy fish in the spatterdock and wanted to just break it off as the boat drifted with the wind. But Clyde Douglas insisted on backing up to the tangled fish and weeding it out. Good thing, as it was the bluegill of a lifetime for me...12 1/2 inches and 2 lbs. and 2 ounces.
Thanks, Clyde!
