Sure! I sent you some info on another chat. This fish was caught at sundown, but I didn't have anyone to take the pic until later, when it was dark.

I have trouble fishing for bream after dark in this particular lake, because it's INFESTED with fat black bullhead, and they pounce on any bait I put out. Check out the discussion "How to get the icky taste out of strong flavored fish". David gave me an EXCELLENT tip for preparing these plentiful and meaty little fish. I had cold fried fish for breakfast this morning, and it was just as good as the dinner I had last night! If you night fish for bream, be ready for catfish! Check out our discussion on the pic "Spotted catfish". There's a lot of good info on these SURPRISE fish there. And by the way, state records for bullhead are often vacant... I have a 2 lb 6 oz fish that would be the FL record black bullhead in my freezer. I hope i get around to filing before I get hungry!

Way to go Mike. I forgot about my childhood days of feeding bread to bluegill! Brings out the best in all of us.
