GO Bruce GO! Awesome!

OH! Nice haul! Nice overcast, a back-killing seat it appears, and a huge gill to boost. Love the bendo-rod.

 

By the way Bruce, love the air conditioning pants.

I enjoyed it Bruce......I'm working on a set up to start filming some video clips......No fall off on the picture taking I just want to add some more quality testimony to the site.....Really nice fish and it seems like the gills are continuing to grow down on Richmond Mill.......

Never even gave that a second thought.  Definitely the deeper you are, the more pronouced the jigging has to be, in order to compensate for stretch of the monofilament.

Nice job Bruce. I was surprised by how aggressive you were on the jigging motion. Never would've thought that much movement would do anything other than drive the fish away. I'll have to try that!

For sure a dream gill Bruce,love that your releasing em...a much easier & more accurate scale is a diet or postal scale,got mine at Wal Mart for $20.00 & had it checked at the physics lab,spot on perfect in accuracy.I would pay big money to get a gill like that,any chance a die hard Minnesota bluegill guy could get on that "pond"? Been doing some research & cant find any info on it.
