Do you love big bluegill?
Bucket list
Mine is lighter this evening....I got to fish Bruce Condello's lake today! I was lucky and managed to catch a couple BG, but what I saw and experienced far eclipsed catching some fish.
I'm leaving Nebraska and headed home for Indiana in the morning......armed with fresh ideas, and new things to try in my own ponds.
I'll share more when I'm at a computer instead of my iPhone.
Bruce, thanks for everything. Looking forward to next time.

Thanks Bruce, it was awesome. Tony you think you can hold a beautiful HBG like that Native earlier one handed. That was a new one for me, but I don't leave the hills much.
